For 100 years Goodwill of North Georgia has been changing lives — and Keith Parker has been at the helm making sure that legacy keeps growing. As President and CEO of one of the largest nonprofits in the Southeast, Keith has spent his career connecting people to opportunity, from running major transit systems across the country to now leading an organization that serves millions of Georgians every year.
In this episode, Tharon sits down with Keith for a real conversation about what Goodwill actually does beyond the donation drop off, the future of jobs in Atlanta, workforce development, and what it really takes to close the wealth gap in one of America’s fastest growing cities.
This one is for everybody who has ever donated a bag of clothes and had no idea just how far it went.
