The ACBL
Goodwill Committee
was organized in 1955 with John E. Simon as chair and Louise Durham as
co-chair. Aileen Osofsky became chair in 1985 and has expanded the
committee’s
endeavors, taking on promotion of active ethics, awareness of those
with
disabilities such as hearing loss, support for junior programs and
naming
of a goodwill member of the year. Assistant chairs are Peggy Augustin,
Aidan Ballantyne, Sharon David, Korene Geffen, George Rosenkranz and
Carol
Sanders.
Each member of the ACBL Board
of Directors
is entitled to appoint two lifetime members from his or her district
annually.
Goodwill Day is celebrated the Monday of each NABC.
Districts and units
are encouraged to establish and recognize their own Goodwill
Committees. We encourage clubs to promote special goodwill
activities.
