Meet Our Co-Chairs

Denise and tim luft headshotDenise Luft has been a dedicated member of the Goodwill Industries of Arkansas Board of Directors since 1999, serving in pivotal roles including Vice Chairman and Chairman. Her journey with Goodwill has been a testament to her passion for community empowerment. Denise takes immense pride in witnessing the organization’s transformative impact—from providing essential job connections to fostering self-sufficiency and generational change for Arkansans.

After years of nurturing their family, Denise embarked on a new professional path in Residential Real Estate with The Janet Jones Company. When she’s not assisting clients in finding their dream homes, Denise enjoys oil painting, hosting gatherings, and cherishing moments with their dogs, Auggie and J.J.

Tim Luft brings over three decades of expertise as a Cardiovascular Perfusionist, having trained at both the Texas Heart Institute and the University of Arkansas. He shares Denise’s admiration for Goodwill’s mission, particularly its role in enhancing the lives of Arkansans through education and job training. Outside of his professional endeavors, Tim is an avid golfer.

Together, Denise and Tim are proud parents to four children, a son-in-law, a daughter-in-law, and a delightful granddaughter, Georgia. Their family is united by a shared love for St. James United Methodist Church, the Arkansas Razorbacks, and spontaneous beach getaways.
