Becky brings a strong background in policy to NNRG's advisory board through her work with the Washington Environmental Council.  Becky joined WEC in 1994 and has led successful campaigns on sustainable forestry and helping to defeat the irresponsible development initiative—Initiative 933. Working closely with architects, developers, and educators, she led WEC's 2005 campaign to pass Washington's first-in-the-nation law requiring public buildings to meet green building standards. Currently, Becky leads the 1Sky Washington campaign, WEC’s joint campaign with Climate Solutions to pass strong policies to reduce global warming pollution, as well as staffing our ongoing sustainable forestry work. She feels lucky to have a job where she can bring people together to create solutions to complex problems, even though it involves an unnatural number of meetings.  She has a bachelor's degree in International Studies from the University of Oregon, and prior to joining WEC, taught English in rural Japan. Becky lives in Seattle with her husband and 2 year old daughter, and enjoys gardening, eating her husband’s excellent cooking, singing, and visits to the “doggie park” with her family.
