5:00-7:00pm
virtually via Zoom Platform

The leadership team of ICF-Raleigh meets every six weeks on Thursday from 5:00-7:00pm via Zoom.

Board meetings are open to all.  We encourage you to "sit-in" on a meeting to learn about the process and open your mind to future leadership within the organization.

If you want to make a presentation to the Board, you must notify the president in advance so you can be placed on the agenda.  If you simply want to be an observer, send an email to the chapter administrator at admin@icfraleigh.org and she will send you the Zoom link the day before the meeting.

For reference, approved board minutes are posted on the website under the Members Only section.
