Message from our President | Dear ICF-CT Community,
As I wrap up my two-year term as President, I’d like to share my thoughts on the experience.
I think back to the day I said “yes” to what I believed would be one of the bigger challenges of my adult life. Yes, it is a big job and yes it took time, attention and commitment. It has stretched me, taught me many things, and above all, inspired me.
I’m incredibly proud of what we’ve accomplished with you, our chapter—from elevating our programming and member engagement to deepening our connections across the broader ICF community and advancing our strategic priorities. From the start, I saw the board as a team—each person bringing their unique strengths, perspectives, and energy. My guiding philosophy was to empower each board member to lead with their strengths, knowing I’d be right there beside them.
I couldn’t be more proud of what we’ve done together and I thank you for the opportunity.
I invite you to please join me on Friday, June 27th at Noon as we welcome Karyn Greenstreet for our final program: Collective Genius: Tapping the Power of Mastermind Groups. We’ll begin the hour with our annual report, celebrating highlights from the 2024-2025 programming year, thanking our outgoing board members, and welcoming the new ones.
As I transition into the role of Past President, I do so with immense gratitude— it has been an honor to serve, to learn, and to grow alongside all of you. I look forward to supporting the chapter in new ways and cheering on the next generation of leadership as we continue to move forward, together.
With heartfelt thanks,
Stephanie Tishler

Do Not Respond to Fake Credit Card Purchase Email | A phishing email has been circulating, targeting members with a fraudulent request to purchase credit cards or gift cards on behalf of ICF or our chapter leader, Stephanie Tishler. The email may appear to come from a trusted source, such as a manager or executive, and may include urgent language such as:
"Can you purchase some credit cards and send me the codes immediately? I’ll reimburse you later."
This is a scam. This is an attempt to steal funds or personal information. You can see it's not from Stephanie if you hover over the "from" email.
What to Do:
- Do not reply to the email.
- Do not purchase any cards or share any payment information.
- Then, delete it from your inbox and trash folder.
ICF-CT will never ask you to make personal purchases on its behalf via email or without formal procedures. If you’re unsure about any suspicious message, always verify directly with the person via a known phone number or official email or communication channel.
