+ Bob Rosinsky to serve as president of FGA
President and CEO of Goodwill Manasota, Bob Rosinsky, was recently appointed as president of the Florida Goodwill Association (FGA). Rosinsky has worked for Goodwill for 42 years and has served as the president and CEO of Goodwill Manasota since 2012.

FGA is made up of nine territories of Goodwill stores throughout Florida and Alabama. The association was formed approximately five years ago and began as a way for Goodwill stores to meet and discuss day-to-day operations to improve the impact and reach of Goodwill in each surrounding territory. Within FGA, subgroups communicate about a variety of topics: donated goods/retail, recycling, mission services, marketing/branding, risk management and human resources.

“I have been fortunate to have learned from great leaders throughout my 42-year career with Goodwills around the country,” said Rosinsky in a release. “The previous FGA president, Don Roberts, also served as the previous Goodwill Manasota CEO, and I am proud to continue his legacy and involvement.

“I am honored to begin this new role as president of the Florida Goodwill Association because I am excited to see the new advances we can make that will help us to have an even larger impact on our state. We succeed because we are all working toward the same goals: stronger local economies, a stronger and more empowered workforce and stronger communities.”
