STEVE LUFBURROW
In 2021, our President & CEO, Steve Lufburrow, celebrated
his 40th year with Goodwill Houston. Steve’s father, Bill
Lufburrow, was named CEO of Goodwill Houston in 1965.
Throughout his youth, Steve worked in every facet of the
organization. In 1981, after graduating college, Steve officially
joined Goodwill Houston and went through Goodwill
Industries International’s Executive Development program,
a course designed to train and certify young Goodwill
executives. In 1984, he was named a Vice President of
Goodwill Houston, and spearheaded Goodwill Houston’s fund
development programs and other divisions of the company.
After his father passed away in 1986, Steve was named
President & CEO by the Board of Directors. Under Steve’s
leadership, Goodwill Houston began to grow quickly,
expanding both its retail footprint and the programs
available. Goodwill Houston opened Job Connection Centers
all over Houston — convenient spaces where members of
the community could go for free job training, education, and
job opportunities. Steve has changed the lives of countless
people and cemented a spot as one of Houston’s premier
non-profit business leaders. From his team at Goodwill
Houston, thank you, Steve, and congratulations!
