This is the highest level of accreditation that can be awarded to an organization and shows Goodwill’s substantial conformance to the standards established by CARF. According to the CARF Survey Report, “…the leadership and staff members of Goodwill Industries are dedicated, committed, and enthusiastic, in providing care and assistance to the persons served.”

Goodwill was recognized by CARF for many of its strengths. They cited 28 in this year’s report, 2 of which were exemplary. An organization receiving a Three-Year Accreditation outcome has put itself through rigorous peer review process and has demonstrated to a team of surveyors during an on-site visit that its programs and services are of the highest quality, measurable, and accountable.

This recent survey recognizes the following services at Goodwill Industries: Community Services: Community Integration Employment Services: Community Employment Services: Job Development Employment Services: Community Employment Services: Job Supports Employment Services: Community Employment Services: Job-Site Training Brain Injury Home- and Community- Based Rehabilitation Programs: (Adults) Brain Injury Home- and Community- Based Rehabilitation Programs: (Children and Adolescents) Brain Injury Long-Term Residential Services (Adults) Brain Injury Outpatient Rehabilitation Programs (Adults) Brain Injury Outpatient Rehabilitation Programs (Children and Adolescents)

Goodwill Industries of Northern New England is a nonprofit organization with a corporate office at 353 Cumberland Avenue, Portland. Its mission is to help people with disabilities live more independently.

CARF is an independent, nonprofit accrediting body whose mission is to promote the quality, value, and optimal outcomes of service through a consultative accreditation process that centers on enhancing the lives of the persons served. Founded in 1966 as the Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities, and now known as CARF, the accrediting body establishes consumer-focused standards to help organizations measure and improve the quality of their programs and services.

The night will feature a silent auction with sought after items such as two donated Angela Adams bags and handcrafted garden bonnets. Whole Foods Market has pitched in by catering dinner for the students, and Kim Block from News Channel WGME 13 is the night’s emcee. Some of the show’s proceeds will benefit Goodwill’s Pediatric Brain Injury Programs.

Students from South Portland, Falmouth, Cape Elizabeth, Portland, Deering, and Westbrook High Schools make up PATHS Fashion-Merchandising class. They have spent the better part of their semester designing and re-creating fashions purchased at Goodwill. During Runway Remix, the students will model their one-of-kind designs. This year’s show features an exploration of fashion history from the 1920’s to the present, with highlights of polka dot, garden, the little black dress as well as a prediction of fashion in the future.

“Like last year, we are working with very talented students who are excited about showcasing their designs during Runway Remix,” says Jean Salce, Director of Marketing at Goodwill Industries of Northern New England, “The event highlights what partnerships are about.”

The Goodwill / PATHS partnership allows students to learn the value of shopping at Goodwill, where funds help support programs for people with disabilities. The students also learn the basics of community service and the importance of giving back, while gaining experience in managing and planning an event.

“From the many highly qualified candidates who sought the position, Mike has a unique combination of skills that made him our clear choice,” said Matt Hunter, Director and Chair of the Search Committee.

Coughlin previously was National Director of Client Services and Vice President for Research and Development for CHC- Working Well, a Canadian behavioral health provider ranked as one of the 50 best managed, private companies in the country. He also served as Vice President of Operations for Warren Shepell consultants of Canada, where he oversaw 28 offices spread across Canada and led a professional staff of 1,200 which served some 70,000 clients each year.

For the last four years, Coughlin has served as the Executive Director of Genesis Behavioral Health, a Comprehensive Community Mental Health Center that serves the Lakes Region of New Hampshire. Under his leadership, Genesis has grown its revenues by a third, markedly expanded its partnerships with other organizations, and improved its quality of care.

Coughlin holds a Masters degree in Social Work from Columbia University and began his career as a child care worker and counselor. Coughlin will succeed Dr. Kevin Baack, who is retiring in early May having served as Goodwill’s Executive Director for three decades.

“In so many ways Dr. Baack has shaped Goodwill into the dynamic organization that it is today,” says Judith Stone, President of Goodwill Board of Directors. “Whoever succeeded him would have a tremendous challenge before them,” Stone continues, “We are confident, that based on both Mike’s past accomplishments and his deep interest in the mission and future of Goodwill, that he will be able to build upon the work Dr. Baack has done.”

“I am privileged to be joining a tremendous Board and staff at Goodwill Industries of Northern New England, to continue the work started by Dr. Helms 105 years ago,” says Coughlin. “It is an honor – and a little daunting – to be following in the footsteps of Dr. Kevin Baack, who has led Goodwill for so long, and who has helped it become one of the strongest nonprofit agencies in New England. I promise to dedicate myself to honoring the work of those who came before, by maintaining the values and traditions that have made Goodwill so successful, by always remembering the clients we serve, and by looking for innovations that will shape our next 100 years.”

Goodwill Industries of Northern New England has been a community resource since 1933. Its programs are offered for people who live with disabilities or other disadvantages with a mission of promoting independence and community inclusion. Goodwill’s four major program areas are Employment Services, Brain Injury Services, Deaf Services, and Developmental Disability Services providing support for over 4,000 people throughout Maine, New Hampshire, and Vermont. These programs are funded in part by the revenues from Goodwill’s 23 retail stores.

Goodwill Industries International is a network of 185 local, autonomous Goodwill Industries organizations in the United States and Canada, and 45 international associate members in 34 countries. For more information visit www.goodwillnne.org

Cell phones, car and home chargers, collected in Goodwill stores are being recycled by ReCellular, a national company from Dexter, Michigan. This partnership between the Goodwill and ReCellular is a fitting one. Both organizations look to help the planet and environment by recycling and reusing items to help eliminate waste.

A phone that is sent to ReCellular will be broken down and sorted by its various parts. A data eraser will eliminate all personal data and information. For those of us who don’t trust a company to do it, we can visit the wirelessrecycling.com website to get instructions on how to do it ourselves. Once the cell phone is dissected and tested, it is combined with other cell phone parts to make a new phone. Half of ReCellular’s phones are sent to domestic resellers, the other half to developing countries in Africa, South America, and Asia. ReCellular is on schedule to resell 4 million phones in 2007.

How is my donation benefiting Goodwill? The funds received for cell phone donations help fund Goodwill’s human service programs in Maine and New Hampshire for people with disabilities.

“We are excited about the opportunity to partner with a nationally recognized company who believes in recycling, much like Goodwill,” says Randy Finamore, Director of Retail Services at Goodwill Industries of Northern New England. “Expanding our services for our donors and shoppers is another way we can reach out to our communities and bring customers what they are looking for in a Goodwill store,” says Finamore.

Goodwill is a human service organization and a net-work of nonprofit businesses. Revenue generated in Goodwill’s retail stores help fund programs for people with disabilities. For more information visit www.ginne.org.
