Rick Goings

Following more than a decade of collaboration with a handful of International youth organizations, in 2019, the World Federation of Youth Clubs was officially founded. Based in Charlottesville, Virginia, it currently has member organizations operating in 24 countries outside of the United States. The 3,160 Club locations serve 336,000 youth and their families annually through facility-based organizations that provide educational programs, personal and leadership development, and family and community engagement.

He resides in Windermere, Florida, with his wife, Susan Porcaro Goings (widow of the late Toto drummer Jeff Porcaro). He says he is traveling 70 percent of his time and practices Transcendental Meditation twice a day. In September 2014, Goings and his wife were awarded the second annual Voice for Women Award for their work to propel women's economic empowerment around the world at Sewall-Belmont House and Museum on Capitol Hill in Washington D.C.

In 2010, Goings was recognized with the Knight of the Legion of Honour award by Nicolas Sarkozy for his dedication to the role of women and children in developing countries. The People's Republic of China awarded Goings the Marco Polo Award for his role in China's economic development and the Boys & Girls Clubs of America awarded him the Herbert Hoover Humanitarian Award, for his work as their national chairman. In 2013 Goings was named CEO of the Year by the Holmes Group.

He joined Tupperware in 1992 as president of Tupperware Worldwide. One of his first actions was to turn the company's attentions to the overseas market, in order to compensate for the increasing difficulty of direct-sales models in the United States. The two markets Goings focused on most were Latin America and Asia, where "Tupperware home party social-networking" proved to be popular in a way that it once was in the United States during the 1960s. Within four years the company was earning 95% of its revenues from outside the US, with revenues of about $1 billion. This led the company to be spun off from its parent company in 1996, with Goings remaining in the position of CEO.

Following the sale of Dynamics, Goings began working with Avon Products, Inc. in 1985, where he held several positions including president of Avon Germany, group vice president and senior operating officer for the Pacific Rim, and president of Avon USA.
