Join ICF Gulf Coast

How to Join

Whether you're an experienced credentialed coach or just getting started, becoming part of ICF Gulf Coast gives you access to education, connection, and leadership tailored to your coaching journey.

Step 1: Become a Member via ICF Global

If you're a current ICF Global member, you're eligible to join ICF Gulf Coast by affiliating with our chapter through your ICF Global profile.

Step 2: Select ICF Gulf Coast as your Chapter

Log in to your ICF Global Member Profile and click on Access Profile. On the My Account Links menu, found on the right side, click on Membership Info, and select your chapter under My Chapter Affiliations.

Please allow 3-4 weeks for ICF Global to update chapter affiliations. Once processed, you'll receive a welcome message from ICF Gulf Coast with your exclusive and personal discount code for chapter-hosted events (chapter co-hosted events and conferences are excluded).

Step 3 (Optional): Upgrade your membership to Premium for expanded benefits, tools, and all-access to chapter hosted and chapter co-host events (an estimated access of 36 CCE hours available yearly), and much more.

Ready to Make the Most of Your Membership with Premium?

As a member of ICF Gulf Coast, you're already connected -- but if you're looking for more access, fewer barriers, and a more elevated presence in the coaching community, Premium Membership may be the perfect fit.

We've put together a side-by-side comparison below so you can clearly see what's included with standard membership and what unlocks with Premium. From complimentary registration for chapter events to profile visibility and streamlined CCE tracking, Premium makes participating easier -- and more impactful.

Each year, ICF Gulf Coast offers a estimated total of 27 professional development events (a combination of chapter-hosted and co-hosted programs), with an average of 36 CCE hours available -- a $400+ value in programming, included at no additional cost with Premium.

Your $115 annual contribution doesn't just give you benefits -- it helps power the tools, systems, and programming that support coaches like you throughout the region and beyond.
