Character Counts
The Character Counts! program is well-known in Iowa’s public school system. The program has helped train a generation of Iowa’s young people on the qualities that contribute to strong character and citizenship. Now the Institute for Character Development would like to take these concepts into Iowa workplaces. The Central Iowa ASTD chapter has volunteered to repurpose their materials and make them ready for use in business-based sessions.
