Congratulations to Jenna Roughton for her recent promotion as the Ottawa Store Manager, after one month working for Goodwill!

Goodwill Industries would like to welcome the following new additions to our family: Shad Powell was hired as our new Deveaux Store Manager back in December; Charles Potter joins our team as a Job Coach serving in the Tiffin area; and Todd Easterwood obtained employment as our new Cherry St. custodian after successfully completing the janitorial training program.

New Leadership for Janitorial Training

Goodwill Industries of Northwest Ohio is pleased announce the addition of Barbara Fortney to its Janitorial/Housekeeping Training staff. Barbara brings 30 years of experience in the field of janitorial cleaning, including 26 years as the owner of a residential, commercial and industrial cleaning service called Chore Savers Janitorial Service. She has also worked with Woodlane, serving adults with developmental disabilities. Since 2008, she has been employed with Goodwill as the Janitorial Contracts Manager where her duties have included supervision and support of employee's, quality control, report preparation and training employee's in the most efficient cleaning methods for the particular work site.

Barbara reported she is "excited for something different." She hopes to help the Janitorial/Housekeeping Training Department grow and continue turning out productive employees to take on a competitive market.

Richard Losie-Rife will remain with the department acting in an administrative capacity, including assistance with consumer reports and other consultative duties. Goodwill is confident the new change in staff will continue to greatly benefit program consumers.
