I had joined OEC several years before, and had been a home-based volunteer. Don Waggoner, OEC’s president, had a large volume of correspondence relating to his evaluation of Oregon’s Bottle Bill. I had an electric type-writer, and volunteered. On the strength of this, Larry took a chance and hired me. I think he hoped my “people skills” would make up for my typing deficiencies.
OEC recently received the second highest score as "one of the best nonprofits to work for" out of 100 organizations in Oregon. We were also distinguished as one the top green companies to work for in Oregon.
