In mid-March, Peter Crowley took the helm as chairman of the board for Goodwill Manasota for the second time. Crowley began his tenure with the organization as an intern in 1993 and has since graduated from the University of Florida with an MBA and law degree and become the president and broker/co-owner of the RE/MAX Alliance Group. He has also become a leader for Goodwill Manasota, serving on the board of directors since 2004, including a term as chairman in 2010 and now chair again for 2017-2019. Crowley is also one of the local celebrity stars featured in the 2017 Goodwill marketing campaign, called “I Am Goodwill.” Crowley's business, RE/MAX Alliance Group, has become part of Goodwill's corporate support base. Last year, RE/MAX hosted Goodwill's traveling Giving Tree, which encouraged workers and customers/clients at area businesses to donate and making a difference in the lives of community members. In 2015, the company was honored as Goodwill Manasota's Corporate Sponsor of the Year. RE/MAX Alliance Group has previously been honored as one of the Ambassadors of the Year during Goodwill's annual awards dinner and also served as one of the event sponsors for the organization's popular annual fundraiser, the Mardi Gras Gala. Crowley, along with his business partners, Ron Travis and Dave Coupland, operate seven real estate offices throughout Sarasota and Manatee counties.
