SAINT PAUL, Minn. - July 5, 2021 - PRLog -- Dr. Artika Tyner, founder of Planting People Growing Justiceā„¢ Leadership Institute (PPGJLI), announced that it has commissioned its own Challenge Coin embodying the attributes of rise, integrity, self-awareness, and engagement.

"Our goal is to encourage people to choose to R.I.S.E.," said Tyner. "This is an opportunity to lead change since leadership is about results. It's a leadership challenge for ordinary people to have an extraordinary impact in their community."

A challenge coin is a small coin or medallion bearing an organization's insignia or emblem and carried by the organization's members. The unique coin is a challenge to leaders to make a difference. The PPGJLI challenge coin features gold plating on the obverse side and a colorful reverse imprinted with the organization's ideals. The coin measures 1.5 inches.

The PPGJLI's challenge coins will be given to community supporters ranging from the organization's founding donors, Excellence in Education honorees, and participants in the PPGJLI's leadership cohorts that includes Women Leading Change (https://www.ppgjli.org/womenleadingchange) and Leadership for Social Justice project.

According to information from Syracuse University (https://dps.syr.edu/law-enforcement/history-of-the-challe...), "If you carry this coin, you do so with an obligation to those ideals it embraces and all challenge coin rules apply. May you carry the coin in good spirit, good health and always with a sense of nobility." In modern times, challenge coins are issued by a wide range of organizations around the world.

The tradition of giving challenge coins was performed as early as the Roman Empire when a warrior would be given a coin to buy a drink in recognition of their achievements. The first actual minting of a challenge coin was during the 17th century during the French religious wars.

They once again became popular during World War I, when a lieutenant had bronze coins struck for his squadron. His plane went down shortly after and the coin saved his life when he was going to be executed as a saboteur. It became a tradition after that to carry the coin at all times and rules of etiquette evolved for those carrying a challenge coin.

The PPJGLI's new challenge coin is an opportunity for anyone to get involved in bringing about positive and lasting social change in their community. "Our goal is to inspire everyday people to discover the leader within by choosing to R.I.S.E.," said Tyner.
