Betsy Goodman, At Large Elizabeth (Betsy) Goodman is a paralegal in litigation at Tonkon Torp LLP. She moved to Portland from suburban Minneapolis many years ago to attend Reed, where in her junior year her art professor almost convinced her to change her major from psychology to studio art. Extra terms and tuition aside, interest did not correlate with promise, and so she remained outside the arts world until she became a SCRAP volunteer in early 2006 and joined the SCRAP board in early 2007. Betsy is a founding member and former chair of the Tonkon Torp Sustainability Committee, a member of the Oregon Lawyers for a Sustainable Future Office Practices Committee, and a one-time Master Recycler and Eco-team Coach.

Kat Schon, At Large Kat is co-owner of Portland Store Fixtures, a business that takes reuse & recycling very seriously in a fun way, and co-owner of Briar, a dog who takes very little seriously, other than napping and who makes going to work a joy. She brings 10 years of business experience to the table, from accounting, advertising and customer service, to working creatively on a budget. Kat has enjoyed a long relationship with SCRAP and has decided the time has come to make a commitment. She draws the line at moving in but short of that, count her in. She spends her spare time, if you can call it that, with her partner, friends, family, and of course, Briar because it's the people in her life that make it worthwhile.
