A Century of Good Works: Past, Present, and the Path Forward

In the premiere episode of the newly relaunched Good Works Show, hosts Elaine Armstrong and Trenise Lyons return to the mic in celebration of Goodwill of North Georgia’s 100th anniversary.

They’re joined by two voices who embody the legacy and future of the organization: President & CEO Keith Parker and Richard King, the longest-serving team member with nearly 50 years of experience. Through candid conversation, reflection, and laughter, this episode blends executive insight with institutional memory — sharing how Goodwill grew from a small storefront on Edgewood Avenue into a regional leader in workforce development.

Listeners will hear powerful perspectives on how Goodwill has evolved, where it’s headed next, and why stories like Richard’s continue to shape the organization's mission and vision. Plus, the hosts spotlight special moments from the centennial celebration and tease what’s ahead in upcoming episodes.

Whether you’re new to the show or a longtime supporter, this episode sets the tone for a season full of purpose, progress, and good works.
