Character Counts In Iowa annually presents the Iowa Character Awards to Iowans who consistently demonstrate good character.
Since 2005, more than 100 individuals and organizations from across the state have received an Iowa Character Award.
Why it’s important
Iowans show good character every day, and many times it goes unnoticed. There are countless individuals and organizations whose exemplary character is a model for us all.
The Iowa Character Awards highlight the best among us – those who do the right thing, even when no one is looking. Their stories inspire us and provide a renewed sense of pride in our state.
