Goodwill of Central Arizona Appoints Technology Executive to Serve as President & Chief Executive Officer

Goodwill of Central Arizona’s Board of Directors has appointed the organization’s sixth President & Chief Executive Officer since the nonprofit opened its doors in 1947. James Teter, most recently the Chief Operating Officer at Calence, LLC in Tempe, Arizona, took the helm of the $60M nonprofit organization on June 2, 2008.

Teter brings more than 30 years of senior leadership experience to Goodwill from his impressive tenure in the technology field, where he earned a reputation for building teams, growing organizations’ employees, revenues and services and aligning teams toward “One Team - One Mission.” Teter has held senior leadership positions at Avnet, IBM, Savoir, and Lockwood Association. He has also served on the Board of the American Heart Association, was co-chairman for the South Texas United Way campaign and was an active member of the Corpus Christi Economic Development Corporation and Respite Care of San Antonio – rounding out his experience with a broad social services perspective.

“I really wanted the next part of my career to focus on impacting communities – making them a better place to live and work,” said Jim Teter, President & CEO of Goodwill of Central Arizona. “For many years my family and I have been involved with nonprofit organizations addressing social and human service needs, so Goodwill's mission is a natural fit. I share this team's passion for positively impacting the lives of youth and adults in our community and I look forward to helping Goodwill of Central Arizona expand its already impressive service offerings."
