Communications Director
Svetlana Young
communications(at)icfcolorado.org
I was born in the Soviet Union, lived in Russia, and started a new life in the United States. Over 40 years, I feel like I've lived 3 different lives, each shaped by the unique culture, structure, and politics of these vastly different countries. Each chapter has given me a deeper understanding of change, resilience, and power of adaption.
Strategic Partnerships Director
Chad Manifold, PCC, CISSP, PMP
strategic.partnerships(at)icfcolorado.org
I want to help ICF-CO members expand our individual and collective capacity to serve Colorado non-profits and educational institutions. While we’ve partnered with fabulous institutions and organizations, there are opportunities to help NPOs and their leaders thrive through these fiscally challenging times. My clients appreciate the thought-provoking questions that allow them to clarify their goals and how to proceed, personally and professionally, to fine-tune their organization. Many of my clients find that assessments give them increased language to create better cultures. I am certified to coach in Gallup CliftonStrengths, GiANT Worldwide, and WhyInstitute. In addition to growing my coaching practice, I serve in the AF Reserve and am an active coach in the Treasury Executive Institute (TEI) and the Department of the Air
Force’s coaching cadre.
Air Force career highlights include graduating as a Communications Squadron Commander and serving a three-month deployment to Iraq. I enjoy spending time with family and friends and being outside in the Colorado Rockies. In a previous life, I completed eight marathons, four 50-mile footraces and a 140.6-mile triathlon. These days, I enjoy slightly shorter runs with my wife and kids.
