Formed in 1981 to advance economic, business, and cultural ties between New England and Canada, the NECBC is unique in its role for helping to improve economic development by building cross-border regional relationships.

Good brings more than 25 years of hands-on executive experience in sales, marketing, operations and management to the NECBC.

Good also serves on the Board of Directors of the New Hampshire High-Tech Council; is the New Hampshire Commercial Consul to Canada, appointed by the administration of Governor John Lynch; and is on an advisory board member of the School of Business of Daniel Webster College.

Good stated, “New England and Canada are more than just neighbors – we are business partners that rely on each other’s goods and services. Our economic futures are tied to each other whether its energy imports and exports or the commercialization of Canadian technology by New England-based companies.” He added, “Both sides of the border have much to learn and gain from each other and the NECBC is the organization that is making the connections that lead to new jobs, technologies and economic growth.”

Good has held executive sales and marketing positions with Wang Laboratories, TRW Customer Service Division, General Electric Capital Management Technology Services, and Stream International. Good excelled in leadership roles early on, first as a college class officer and later in the United States Army, where he served in Germany.

He also taught as an adjunct faculty member in the Industrial Management Program in the University of Massachusetts College System for 10 years. Good holds an MBA from Southern New Hampshire University and an M.Ed. from Wayne State University.

Good added, “The NECBC Board thanks and commends Dr. Anthony Cicerone, Professor of Economics and Director of Canadian Studies of Bridgewater State University for his leadership as president of the Council for the past year. His expertise in Canadian issues provided great value and well-served the NECBC membership.”
