Good Network

What Good Network does

Good Network (legal name: The Good Network, DBA Greater Orlando Organization Development Network) is a 501(c)(6) tax-exempt nonprofit professional membership association founded in 2003 and headquartered in the Greater Orlando area of Central Florida. It serves Organization Development (OD), HR, talent development, and external consulting professionals through individual ($75/yr), student ($50/yr), half-year ($50), and corporate ($375 for 5 members, $700 for 10) memberships, granting access to bimonthly knowledge sharing programs, eight Communities of Practice (Coaching, External Consulting, Internal Consulting, LD2, Mentoring, Organizational Inclusion, Project Management, and Technology), a mentoring program, a public External Consultant Directory, a member Job Bank, social/networking events, and curated webinars and podcasts.

The organization's product surface is service-led rather than software-led: its underlying technology stack is the Wild Apricot membership management platform (website, member database, iOS/Android member app), and core programming is delivered through in-person venues across Central Florida (Valencia College Winter Park, Orange Lake Resort, Heart of West Lakes Wellness Center) supplemented by Zoom-based virtual attendance. Select programs qualify for SHRM Professional Development Credits through a partnership with the University of Central Florida Division of Continuing Education. The network was recognized with an Outstanding Regional Network award from the International ODNetwork (2023) and celebrated its 20th anniversary in December 2023.

The business model is community-led and volunteer-staffed, with 1-10 employees and a member-elected Board of Directors. Recurring revenue comes primarily from membership dues, supplemented by per-event guest fees (e.g., $35 returning guest, $20 social events) and corporate sponsorships. Growth is dependent on community engagement, peer referrals, and word-of-mouth within the OD practitioner ecosystem, with no disclosed enterprise customers, external funding, or geographic expansion beyond the Greater Orlando region.

Scale indicators1 record

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights6 records

Broad incumbents

• WorldatWork: Professional association for total rewards, HR, and compensation practitioners with chapters and member communities. Comparable membership-and-content model targeting HR/OD-adjacent professionals.
• Association for Talent Development (ATD): Large national professional association for talent development and L&D practitioners — overlapping heavily with GOOD's HR/L&D and LD2 Community of Practice audiences. Comparable as a membership-driven professional community but at much greater scale and broader scope.
• Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM): Largest HR professional association in the U.S. and the source of the SHRM PDCs that GOOD Network helps members earn through its UCF partnership. Directly comparable membership/community model and target persona, but national scale.
• International ODNetwork: Global parent-style association for Organization Development practitioners that awarded GOOD Network its Outstanding Regional Network recognition. Directly comparable as a professional membership community serving the same OD practitioner persona, but operating nationally/internationally rather than regionally.

Emerging players

• Chronus: Mentoring and coaching software platform used by organizations to run internal mentoring programs. Relevant adjacent peer because GOOD Network's Mentoring Program could be powered/scaled by such a platform, and the broader mentoring market overlaps with GOOD's OD/Coaching audience.

Direct peers

• Association of Change Management Professionals (ACMP): Global membership association for change management practitioners, overlapping significantly with GOOD's Internal Consulting, OD, and Leadership Development audiences. Directly comparable as a community-of-practice-driven professional association.
• OD Network Regional Chapters (other metros): Other regional OD networks affiliated with International ODNetwork (e.g., OD Practitioners of New York, Chicago OD Network). Closest structural peers: same parent recognition framework, same bimonthly/CoP model, but each serving a different metro.
• ISPI (International Society for Performance Improvement): Professional association focused on performance improvement, learning, and human performance technology — overlapping with GOOD's OD and Technology CoP audiences. Directly comparable member-community structure.
• ATD Central Florida Chapter: Regional ATD chapter serving talent development professionals in the Greater Orlando/Central Florida area. The closest geographic and topical peer, competing for the same local HR/L&D members.

Regional players

• SHRM Central Florida Chapter: Local SHRM-affiliated chapter serving HR professionals in Central Florida. Competes with GOOD for the same local HR practitioner audience and offers overlapping professional development programming and SHRM credits.
