VISION

Our vision is to be a network of practitioners dedicated to encouraging innovation, promoting excellence, and increasing awareness of OD in organizations.

Our mission is to create a diverse and interactive community that provides continuous learning by sharing ideas, resources and best practices.

Award Winning

GOOD Network was awarded an Outstanding regional Network award by the International ODNetwork.

2021 BI-MONTHLY MEETING SCHEDULE

Please SAVE THE DATE for the 2021 bi-monthly meetings.  As it currently stands, we will conduct the first  meetings of 2021 virtually.  Our hope is to begin meeting face to face when we have meeting space available again.  This is subject to change based on recommendations from the CDC and State of Florida.  We will keep you posted as we progress throughout the year.  If you have any ideas for speakers for the future, please email Anita Gabbard.  If you are interested in presenting, use the  speaker proposal form to submit your presentation or workshop proposal idea. We look forward to another great year of robust programs that GOOD has always provided.  See you there!

2021 Conference Update

It is with a heavy heart that we must announce that 2021 GOOD Conference has been postponed because we cannot hold it face to face on October 15th.  We have decided not to pivot to a virtual format because our members clearly value the in-person experience.  While we all yearn to gather together to connect, learn, and spend time together,  the pandemic's path forward remains too uncertain for us to commit resources to a FULL in-person conference it at this time.

We will continue to monitor the situation to determine when we can safely bring the GOOD community of members, speakers, volunteers, sponsors, and partners together again. 

GOOD Cares!
