Ohio Valley Goodwill was pleased to recognize the contributions of James Armour, Board of Directors, for more than twenty-five years of service during its Fall meeting on September 23rd. Mr. Armour has served in a variety of roles over the lengthy tenure of his service including as Board Chair from 2002-2008, Vice- Chair from 2008-2019, Vice President in 1998 and as Chair of the Development Committee from 1994-1995. Mr. Armour led the Special Gifts Campaign in 2000 which enabled the organization to raise funds to undergo the four year long, seven phase renovation of its corporate headquarters in Woodlawn more than doubling Goodwill’s footprint in the Tri-County community. Recognized by Goodwill Industries International in 2005 as the GII “Volunteer of the Year,” Mr. Armour has given thousands of hours of his dedication and service to not only Goodwill and its mission of service but also, to many more causes through his involvement with the Methodist Church.
Beyond his official duties as a member of the Board of Directors, Mr. Armour has always selflessly volunteered his time to support the organization’s Service Guild, which plans and provides many special events throughout the year for the individuals the organization serves as well as to community fund-raisers which go towards Goodwill’s mission of service. Mr. Armour has always been an enthusiastic proponent of Ohio Valley Goodwill and its belief in the power of work to enable individuals to attain personal success. “Jim has been an invaluable mentor and friend to Ohio Valley Goodwill as well as to me in the role of President and CEO. I have always been grateful for his wisdom and guidance over the years,” said Joe Byrum, President and CEO.
Ohio Valley Goodwill recognizes and thanks James Armour for his exemplary service and commitment to the Goodwill mission over the past twenty-five years and wishes him well in his future endeavors.
