Triad Coaching Connect Committees

Our committees are where passion, purpose, and collaboration come alive. Together, these teams transform ideas into impact, creating lasting change in our coaching community and beyond.

Committee: Program Committee

Purpose: We are dedicated to delivering high-quality programs that provide professional development for our members, provoke thought, and deliver learning that can be applied in coaching practices. Programs are presented during the monthly membership meeting. 

Wins:

We have consistently received  program evaluation scores of 4.5 or more (5 point scale) for the past 2 years.

  • Our hybrid delivery has helped make programs accessible to a broader range of members.  The variety of programs has tracked with the request and suggestions from our membership.

  • We surveyed to determine what might enhance attendance at programs, and in 2026, we will begin shortening our programs to 90 minutes.  

Our Goals for 2026:

Provide engaging and relevant content that achieves a minimum 90% satisfaction rating from program participants, as measured through post-event surveys.

  • Publish a concise summary of each program, including key takeaways and a link to the session recording, in the Triad Coaching Connection newsletter to extend learning and accessibility.

  • Present 11 programs in 2026 that represent a range of topics and formats aligned with current trends and emerging areas of interest in the coaching field, as defined by leading professional organizations and literature.

  • Ensure that at least 30% of 2026 programs are member-led — designed, facilitated, or co-facilitated by Triad Coaching Connection members. This initiative promotes professional growth, highlights member expertise, and strengthens community connection through active contribution.
