WHO WE ARE

Teaming Up to Highlight the Good that is Taking Place Around Us

A few years ago, Tanya La Force, Mary Ellen Chandler, and Lee Ann Necessary were independently seeking ways to share more positive stories about people and organizations in our area and highlight making a difference in their communities. Their professional backgrounds span finance, business, nonprofit fundraising, marketing, and journalism. But what truly unites them is a shared passion for highlighting nonprofit organizations' work.

One day, Mary Ellen said to Tanya, “We just need to start.” Lee Ann, a former television news anchor and journalist, wanted to produce and host a high-quality podcast. That's when We're Good was created. All three joined together to create this company that gives the microphone to nonprofits, people, and foundations to share their stories, journeys, and work. 

Starting with the podcast and website, the We’re Good team plans to expand into other media formats and fill the content gap with stories of perseverance, selflessness, courage, and relentless commitment, mostly from the work of nonprofits.
