Consortium Partners
To advance our mission and scale our impact, we have a long-standing consortium partnership with The Robert D. and Billie Ray Center at Drake University. Together, we pursue strategic opportunities in youth leadership, workforce and STEM readiness, and organizational development in community and workplace environments.
The Institute’s main focus is on research and development of instructional resources, assessment solutions, and tools and strategies for organizational culture development. The Ray Center’s main focus is on coaching, training and expanding our collaborative implementation projects across Iowa and the nation.

Our partnership with the Excellence with Integrity Institute has catapulted our work to new heights in the field of civility, character development and ethical leadership over the last decade. From early childhood to the corporate and community environment we work together with a consortium mindset to set shared goals and aligned strategies to transform lives and strengthen communities.
