Mission of ICCC
The ICCC was founded in 1994 by the late Dr. Albert Bush-Brown, architectural historian, and Professor Dianne Davis to stimulate and showcase innovative concepts that address global longevity challenges and opportunities. Through educational programs, conferences, technical support and international student architectural competitions, ICCC promotes a “Society for All Generations.”
ICCC is a not-for-profit organization that has Special Consultative Status with the Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC) of the United Nations. ICCC acts as a bridge linking government, civil society organizations, the private sector, universities and the United Nations in their efforts as a catalyst for new solutions that enhance and encourage adaptation and or replication in both developing and developed countries. ICCC is mainstreaming the impact of the new digital era on the 21st century growing “Agequake.”
Since its inception, ICCC has been committed to the principle that private enterprises and individuals can help society improve communities and social public activities. Twenty-three renowned world leaders since 1996 have been presented with ICCC “Caring” Awards for their contributions to society.
ICCC is a US tax-exempt 501(c)(3) organization.
