The International Association of Character Cities

Permission requested to use information from www.charactercities.org

Today crime, juvenile delinquency, broken families, and overcrowded prisons overshadow many nation's productivity, ingenuity, and prosperity. The reason for this decline is the lack of individual character.

However, government and community leaders can use their influence to foster a community-wide culture where good character is rewarded. When character is developed on the individual and family level, lasting and positive change will occur.

Who We Are and What We Do

The International Association of Character Cities (IACC) formed in 1998 with a twofold strategy: equipping families to build character and helping communities reinforce character among their citizens. IACC provides resources, training, contacts, and counsel to leaders who are committed to character development: in themselves, their families, and their communities. View the list of communities who have committed to developing character.
IACC is a division of the Character Training Institute, Inc. (CTI), a non-profit, tax-exempt corporation based in Oklahoma City, OK, USA. CTI was founded largely through the efforts of Tom Hill of Kimray, Inc

Your vision may include increased jobs, a higher standard of living, or greater economic development. These goals can become unreachable because of root problems such as broken families, community apathy, and controlling addictions. Just as a weed must be completely uprooted to ensure its banishment from the lawn, your community's challenges must be tackled at their source. The key to solving these issues is individual character development.

Character is the inward motivation to do what is right, whatever the cost. It enables a person to see and make the best decisions in life. For example, diligent people will see a need and create new jobs as they go about meeting the need. Resourcefulness allows people to raise their standard of living by investing money, time, and energy where it will bring the most benefit. Economic development results as people approach their lives with creativity and initiative.

If you want to invest the time and commitment required for lasting results, the IACC staff is at your disposal.
