Donor Spotlight - Richard Tremblay
Richard Tremblay first became a friend of Goodwill through his experience serving on the Rappahannock Goodwill Industries Board of Directors from 2007-2013, in Fredericksburg, Virginia where he was living at the time. He learned firsthand the impact Goodwill has in helping people break through barriers to employment and improve lives.

A Message from Our President & CEO, Richmond Vincent
As a young man, I was destined to play sports – tall, athletic, fast. I was a natural. However, I found my interest didn’t lie in the actual ‘playing’. Rather, coaching my teammates on how they could improve and how we could work better together was what I truly loved. It was there on the playing field my passion for leadership was born. I have been fortunate to share my passion for both leadership and the mission of Goodwill Industries, most recently in Gulfport, Mississippi and Phoenix, Arizona before that. Now, I am honored, and energized, to be in Virginia as the new President & CEO of Goodwill Industries of the Valleys. The reputation of the organization is a strong one and I look forward to building on its solid foundation.
