We are excited to host you at Routes To Progress next week and spend three days focusing on sustainability and community solutions – the very center of our work. Our own Goodwill NNE perspectives and experience will be a part of the conversation as were established over 100 years ago by our Founder, Edgar Helms. On Monday, the framework for the conversation will be opened by our President, Anna Eleanor Roosevelt, and continue Tuesday with both Goodwill Job Connection staff, as well as our guests from away. On Wednesday morning awards will be presented by our Board chair, Ned Helms, the grandson of our Founder. Please join us for an inspiring and productive conversation!
