The Story
Goodmans Interior Structures understands that nonprofits typically have limited resources and the goal of serving the organization’s mission comes first. Amenities like office improvements may never find their way into a budget, even if it means contending with inefficient workspace conditions and less than desirable physical arrangements.
The reality is that today’s successful nonprofit organizations must function a lot like for-profit business. In many ways, the concepts of openness, teamwork and the freedom to explore new opportunities and ideals have always been more prevalent in the offices of charitable organizations. Yet these workers, filled with such vibrant energy and passion for their mission, are often stuck with second-hand or leftover furniture and configurations.
That’s why Goodmans Interior Structures developed “Goodmans Eye for the Good Guy,” a unique program that focuses attention on local nonprofit leadership. We ask for your help in identifying hard-working nonprofit Executive Directors, Presidents and CEOs to be named our 2010 “Good Guys” in Phoenix and Tucson. We’re honoring the winners, one in each market, with a complete renovation of their offices and will feature the individuals on this site and in advertising and local media this fall.

“Creating a functional and aesthetically pleasing work environment has a tremendous impact not only on retaining highly valued workers, but also increasing productivity,” said Adam Goodman, president of Goodmans Interior Structures. “This is an opportunity for an organization to reward its dedicated leader and also create a unique employment benefit that can help the nonprofit retain that leader.”
