GRAND BLANC , MI, UNITED STATES, May 24, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- iChange Nations™ is a Culture of Honor System; the organization is committed to reviving the lost art of honor by fostering a culture that recognizes individuals worldwide who have exemplified extraordinary humanitarian efforts to impact nations positively.

iChange Nations™ (ICN) is an international organization based in the United States and present in more than 155 countries around the world, and affiliated with several other organizations and chambers of commerce. The organization was founded by Sir. Dr. Clyde Rivers of the USA. According to Dr. Rivers, ICN honors people and organizations that believe every life is valuable and is created to contribute to the world.

iChange Nations™ is the world's largest network, building a culture of honor, and is recognized for its Golden Rule Awards. To date, ICN has honored more than 30 heads of state and governments as well as first ladies, social leaders, celebrities, and philanthropists around the world.

Additionally, the organization collaborates with individuals and institutions to promote peace in countries worldwide, foster a culture of civility, and develop capacity in civility-based leadership, diplomacy, governance, and communication. iChange Nations™ is committed to the development and expansion of solution-oriented initiatives brought forth by individuals and organizations.

It is the philosophy of Dr. Clyde Rivers, as well as the iChange Nations™ organization, that what gets praised gets practiced. Therefore, it is the practice of iChange Nations™ to draw attention to qualified individuals who are making a positive impact on their fellow man. In doing so, iChange Nations™ is bringing back the lost art of honor.

One of the focuses of iChange Nations™ is to create modern-day heroes who serve as examples to be seen, admired, and emulated. ICN recognizes individuals at all levels of society for their greatness.

In the words of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., “Everybody can be great...because anybody can serve. You don't have to have a college degree to serve. You don't have to make your subject and verb agree to serve. You only need a heart full of grace. A soul generated by love.” With these profound words, ICN acknowledges that true greatness is not a matter of position but rather a matter of disposition. ICN Modern Day Heroes have consistently demonstrated a service mentality through their actions, which are on display for others to see.

The newest ICN Modern Day Hero is Ambassador Dr. Sonya A. Robinson. She is a Renowned Business Strategist and the President and Founder of ICN Congress for Global Communications.
