International Association of Character Cities

International Building Communities of Character Conference

Building communities of character… one person at a time.

Many challenges faced by our communities today are not caused by a need for more laws, better education, or wealthier citizens. The primary issue is the character of the citizens.

Communities around the world are experiencing dramatic change by implementing character in their businesses, schools, and local government.

Effective implementation of a character initiative requires strategic planning. The 2007 International Building Communities of Character Conference will give you the tools to implement or improve your community-wide character initiative.

"We are excited to again offer this inspiring and practical conference for government and community leaders. Join us as communities across the nation and around the world are building strong cities of character for ourselves and our children." —Tom Hill, Founder, Character Training Institute
