GOOD Network

In 2003, OD professionals from large organizations in the Central Florida area recognized the need to come together to share ideas, ask questions, learn, network, and support one another.  Out of this mutual need for community, the Greater Orlando Organization Development Network (GOOD Network) was born.  Today we continue to strive to maintain an open and welcoming environment for all members that maintains a strong focus on providing tools, techniques, and insights that you can take away and apply in your professional endeavors.

The GOOD Network draws professionals from across the Central Florida region, with some members coming from as far away as St. Petersburg and Jacksonville!  We currently have about 140 paid members that include a diverse mix of internal and external consultants and seasoned practitioners, as well as students and members representing a variety of industries and academia.

The GOOD Network is a regional OD network affiliated with the international Organization Development Network.
