Liz H Kelly started the Goody Awards to MAGNIFY Good!

Liz H Kelly started the Goody Awards to MAGNIFY Good!

Liz H Kelly created the Goody Awards™ to give you an easy way to recognize good thru online and offline awards. As CEO/Founder, she’s helped build companies and recognition programs for Fox Interactive Media/MySpaceParamount Pictures, Sprint PCS office, and interactive startups. Liz is currently on the Advisory Board of Net Impact LA and Global Girl Media. 

Liz knew she wanted to change the world at 9 years old when she went to a summer camp where the top awards were for leaders focused on teamwork, giving back and making the camp a better place versus the best tennis player. Liz was later inspired to move forward with the Goody Awards after Dalai Lama meetings in Los Angeles in 2006. She is active in the community, has been on social good panels for Social Media Week LA, Silicon Beach, Digital Hollywood, and teaches social media at UCLA Extension. She has put together a global Advisory Board to support all this good!
