Welcoming Chris Talton to Goodman Community Center!
Chris begins work as GCC's new President
It's official! Christ Talton started work on Monday as Goodman's new president. Chris had a packed first day, getting to know the staff and space, and meeting with outgoing interim director, Jeff Burkhart. Jeff also shared some parting thoughts on the past 10 months on our blog.
Chris comes to Goodman from Goodwill Industries of North Central Wisconsin and brings more than a decade of leadership within community-focused nonprofits. For more about Chris's background, see the March 30th announcement on our blog.
We know that our program participants, volunteers, neighbors and supporters are eager to welcome Chris, so he'll be at several public events in May. See below for dates and how to register.
