In
Newport, Oregon March 3, 2018 iChange Nations™ launched the first of its kind,
the Global Golden Rule Business Initiative. Honoring local community businesses
for their Golden Rule ethics in business. Recognizing local businesses for
their great business ethics is at the forefront of a movement ICN is initiating
to bring the culture of honor to communities around the world.
iChange
Nations™ believes that honoring, where honor is due, changes the atmosphere of
communities, regions and nations. Newport will become a template to give all
small communities a model of how honor changes a community. Showing that honor inspires
others to accomplish a greater level of integrity and service to their
community. This in turn betters the life of the community and it’s residents.
Among
the business honored in this first Golden Rule Business Honor Event were businesses in the construction trades, restaurants, storage, health and vitamins, an Asian
Market, hotel, CPA, Dental Care and more. Showing that all communities have a plethora
of businesses that contribute to the life of a community and that many work
hard and need recognition for their contribution to their communities. ICN knows
that by honoring businesses that are exemplifying Golden Rule Ethics, they are
taking their place in a global responsibility. The local is now global and does
affect the world around us. Dr. Rivers plans on
seeing this template reach the world, propagating the Golden Rule Culture of Honor
in businesses that originated out of Lincoln County, Oregon. The Local businessmen Mike Dean, John Robinson, Mike Pitzl and Scot Waggnor were the initiators of this movement with ICN out of Lincoln County.
