Chapter Sponsors
A chapter starts when a Chapter Sponsor steps forward.
It takes someone very special, very daring. Sponsors see potential and are willing to invest themselves to see it materialize.

to influence today’s culture.

As soon as the members are named on the form, in a day or two, we'll provide you a template so you can send an email to them with instructions for getting enrolled with ICC.
Every sponsor needs a team.
We go together because we're better together.
A team consists of all chapter parents, all students, and a sponsor.
