Licensed and Related Organizations

One of the purposes of the commission is to both encourage title and trademark users to properly label their organizations and name; failure to clearly disambiguate a goodwill ambassador or a company resulting in confusion is actionable and adequate cause to take the necessary steps to independently identify the entity.

Organizations that use the Goodwill Ambassadors Mark

This page lists organizations that correctly, legally and officially use the Goodwill Ambassadors Mark or the Goodwill Ambassador Title to promote their activities and/or operate their programs.

Some of these actors are registered and licensed to use the Goodwill Ambassadors Mark while others are exempt because they do not use the Title or the Mark for monetary or pecuniary gain, or do so from within the office of a commissioner which has a Diplomatic Corps (CD), an international tourism program, an economic development program, or an honorific title program to recognize esteemed, noteworthy and socially proactive citizens. The page is divided into several sections.

Recognized International Titles

Each organization is issued a 3-6 letter alpha-code representative of their acronym, generally the acronym may not be a redundancy of a title otherwise a commission cannot be recognized as an international, national, state or organization title.
