The Civility Counts Project
Background
Originated in August 2008, the Civility Counts Project was conceived as a global civility-awareness initiative of the Association of Image Consultants International (AICI) the world’s leading and largest professional association of personal and corporate image consultants. The project was inspired by Dr. P.M. Forni, co-founder of the Civility Project at Johns Hopkins University. Through training, education, philanthropic and public awareness projects, individuals and organizations can discover the tools of civility to help them create more harmonious, happy and productive relationships in the workplace. Through coordinated efforts among AICI’s global chapters, the Civility Counts Project attracted worldwide attention form members, businesses, organizations and the Media. The Civility Counts Project ceased to exist as an AICI initiative in July 2012.
