JOHN WATSON, PRESIDENT OF GOODWILL INDUSTRIES
JUNE 12, 2008
Whereas, John Watson is retiring after 29 years as the CEO of Goodwill of the Heartland; and
Whereas, Goodwill is now much bigger and much better because of his leadership and vision - Goodwill now serves veterans, homeless individuals, people with a brain injury, and people who live in public housing - in addition to people with mental and physical disabilities. In 1978, Goodwill developed 30 jobs for people; last year 561. Its supported employment program is Iowa’s largest; and
Whereas, Goodwill’s retail program has grown dramatically. John inherited two retail stores in 1979. Today Goodwill operates the Retail Support Center in southeast Iowa and 12 modern retail outlets that contribute more than $500,000 per year to its services and provide employment and training for more than 250 clients; and
Whereas, John has been an active participant in the Johnson County community. He has served on the Iowa City Human Rights Commission, the Parks and Recreation Commission, Zoning Commission and the Police Review Board. He is active in the Johnson County United Way and serves on the boards of the Iowa Donor Network, Old Brick and Habitat for Humanity; and
Whereas, John brought a sense of quiet competence and the tools to run a not-for-profit organization in an ethical, business-like manner. His insistence that Goodwill fulfill its mission was infectious; and
Whereas, over the years John has facilitated the move toward independence for more than 10,000 people; and
Now, Therefore, be it resolved that we, the Johnson County Board of Supervisors declares the week of June 15, 2008 to be:
JOHN WATSON WEEK
