Dear Readers,

Welcome to this issue of Winds and Waves featuring articles on mentoring and coaching.

Over the years, the ICA has developed useful methods which provide training and tools for effective leadership and engagement.

The over-arching theme for 2015 will be “The future beckons” with sub-themes of “Youth” for the April edition, “Collaboration” for the August edition and “Community” for the December edition of Winds and Waves.

The copy deadline for April submissions is Friday, March 13th, 2015.

In the meantime, we would like to take this opportunity to extend to all our readers a Happy New Year for 2015.
