Tanya Rasley has been serving the Guild for over a year. Starting as a volunteer on the Social Media Committee in 2013, you may have seen her running around the Loews Ventana this May as a ground crew volunteer during the 2014 HSCG conference or up at the podium during the Annual Meeting as a Board of Directors candidate. When Board of Directors member Benjamin Aaron had to step down, Tanya was the natural choice to fill the remainder of his term.
Based in the southern Oregon coastal town of Coos Bay, Tanya runs Canard Labs, an artisan soap company offering retail, private label, and wholesale bath and body care products, which grew out of Baby Duck Soap Co (and no, no ducks were harmed in the manufacture of soap for Baby Duck Soap Co – and yes, that is a question that popped up from time to time).
Words we may have inserted in her mouth: take naps instead of watching television. As Tanya let us know, “You burn more calories sleeping than you do watching TV. So…naps are good!” We’ll happily take that little known fact as motivation to get through this crazy holiday season.
We’re excited to have Tanya apply her talents to the Board and continue her record of excellence in service to the association. You can get in touch with her, find out her plans for the Guild, and just send a friendly “hello” via tanyar@soapguild.org. Find other contact details for Guild staff and administration here. We are here to serve you!
Welcome to the Board, Tanya!
