Anthony Hastings | CEO Challenge Coin Recipient

At Goodwill Industries of the Greater Chattanooga Area, we feel our employees are Blue Shirt Heroes. To show appreciation for our team members who go the extra mile and embody our mission, vision, values, and guiding principles we have launched a CEO Challenge Coin program.   On July 9th, Anthony Hastings became the first recipient of the CEO Challenge Coin, presented by our CEO Gena Weldon, “as a token of our appreciation, I am proud to present Anthony with the CEO Challenge Coin, a symbol of his outstanding contributions.”   Anthony has been with us since March, demonstrating exceptional dedication and our values of people, integrity, commitment, and continuous improvement as a Store Associate at our Hixson, TN store. Amanda Stewart, the Hixson store manager, describes Anthony as “always respectful, a go-getter, and someone who can be relied on.”   Join us in congratulating Anthony and celebrating the incredible work he does every day by putting people first!

Introducing our newest Emerging Leaders Institute graduates! This cohort was celebrated earlier today with a ceremony marking their completion of our ELI program. After six sessions filled with plenty of challenging material, it's safe to say each of these individuals is even better equipped to serve the Greater Dalton area and beyond. This was a great group, and it's been an honor growing with each of them throughout the program. We'll see you all in LDW soon, right? Shoutout to Dr. Stephani Womack, Gita Harden, and Lynn Osborne for keeping this ship sailing smoothly, plus the many, many volunteers it takes to pull it off. To our Program Sponsors, Dalton Utilities and Mohawk, and the Supporting Sponsors, Dalton Box and North Georgia EMC, we couldn't have done it without you. Thank you, all! That's a wrap on ELI 2026!
