ACBL Goodwill Committee

The ACBL Goodwill Committee was organized in 1955. In 1985, Aileen Osofsky became the chairperson and expanded the committee’s endeavors, to include the promotion of active ethics, awareness of those with disabilities such as hearing loss, support for junior bridge programs and the naming of a goodwill member of the year. At the Summer 2010 NABC in New Orleans, Louisiana, the Goodwill Committee was renamed the Aileen Osofsky ACBL Goodwill Committee in her memory and in appreciation of her 25 years of service as chairperson of the committee.

Each member of the ACBL Board of Directors is entitled to appoint two lifetime members from their district annually. Goodwill Day is celebrated on the Monday of each NABC.

Nominations may be submitted to the District Vice-President by May 1 to be considered in the current year. After submission, nominees will be considered for up to 3 consecutive election cycles.
