Integrity Revolution, LLC, leads a revolution in personal, relationship, and societal integrity by helping everyday people to world leaders re-connect the dots between integrity, life fulfillment, love, profitability, and social responsibility. Its flagship program is the Integritize America campaign, the centerpiece of which is a freely available document called the Integrity Stimulus Plan. It provides a universal transpartisan nondenominational framework for co-creating integrity-centered sustainable solutions to the vast challenges we face today. It also helps people construct their own personal Integrity Pledge to become the change they want to see and facilitate those changes in the world in whatever ways reflect their unique passions and talents.

Dr. David S. Gruder, PhD, DCEP, is perhaps the world's only clinical-organizational psychologist whose primary specialty is integrity development and education. As Integrity Revolution's Executive Director, he passionately embodies its mission statement (described above) through writing, keynotes, training, mentoring, and media interviews on various aspects of integrity-centered living, working, loving and serving. He is a frequent guest on many radio talk shows throughout North America. Dr. Gruder's doctorate is in clinical psychology with a secondary emphasis in organizational development and conflict resolution.

For three decades, Dr. Gruder has provided organizational analyses, staff training, team development and executive mentoring, for executives, administrators, leaders, businesses, health care organizations, and educational institutions.
