What a night for the CoachRICE community! 🎉
On Friday, the Doerr Institute was thrilled to host our CoachRICE Networking Night, bringing together CoachRICE alumni, current cohort participants, and members of our growing coaching community for an evening of connection and conversation.

One of the best parts of CoachRICE is the community that extends well beyond the classroom. We loved seeing familiar faces reconnect, new relationships form, and coaches at different stages of their journeys learn from one another.

Thank you to everyone who joined us and helped make the evening such a success!

Stay tuned for our next CoachRICE event—we’re looking forward to bringing this community together again.
