This April, we’re celebrating the vital role counties play in shaping strong, thriving communities across Washington State. From delivering essential services to championing innovative solutions, counties are on the front lines every day. This year’s theme, "Voices of Impact," highlights the power of clear, strategic communication—both within county teams and with the public—to drive meaningful change. To mark the occasion, we also sat down with the Presidents of the Washington Association of County Solid Waste Managers and the Washington County Administration Association. They shared their unique perspectives on serving in county government and what it means to be an affiliate member of the Washington State Association of Counties. Stay tuned to hear their inspiring stories! <https://members.wsac.org/emailimages/1743545628050-WACSWM+Logo.png> Get to Know the WACSWM Co-Chairs <https://members.wsac.org/emailimages/1744066149214-WACSWM-.jpg> We reached out to the Co-Chairs of the Washington Association of County Solid Waste Managers, to learn more about the affiliate group, what it does, and why it's important! Becci Piepel Director, Solid Waste Programs Douglas County (Eastern Washington) Tell us a little about what brought you to your current county role: I was fortunate that this position became available, and my previous experience made me the ideal candidate. I have always been passionate about leaving the world in a better place—one that my children and grandchildren can be proud of and continue to nurture. Working for County Government has been incredibly fulfilling, allowing me to take a proactive role in improving the community I call home. For the past 10 years, I have proudly served Douglas County, and this is where I plan to retire. When I first stepped into this role, the Solid Waste Manager was the only full-time employee, supported by a part-time office assistant and a part-time program assistant. Today, our team has grown to five full-time employees, and we are actively looking to expand further. What do you see as the most valuable aspect of your affiliate group? The most valuable aspect of our affiliate group is the collaboration and shared expertise in managing recycling, household hazardous waste, landfills, and transfer stations. By working together, we can exchange best practices, tackle common challenges, and develop innovative solutions that benefit our communities. This collective approach strengthens each county’s solid waste programs while ensuring responsible waste management and environmental stewardship. Additionally, the camaraderie and support within the group create an invaluable network where we can advocate for positive change and continuously improve our operations. What has been your favorite part of being Co-Chair? Working with the Solid Waste group has been an experience like no other. The bond we share goes beyond colleagues—we feel more like friends, and at times, even like family. There is a deep respect for the uniqueness of each County and the different challenges we all face. And when we come together, the laughter and camaraderie make every moment truly unforgettable. Is there anything else you would like to share? Becoming a part of WSAC and having advocates like Travis and Paul in our corner has been a true game changer. The formation of this group has been incredibly beneficial for our counties and Solid Waste Programs. Establishing WACSWM has not only strengthened our individual programs but also given us a collective voice. <https://members.wsac.org/emailimages/1744147215774-145026.jpg> Margo Gillaspy Solid Waste Division Manager Skagit County (Western Washington) Tell us a little about what brought you to your current county role: I’ve been in my current role as the Solid Waste Division Manager at Skagit County for nine years. I started at Skagit County in 2007 as a Hydrogeologist Technician, focusing on groundwater monitoring at the County’s closed landfills. I had just finished up my Masters in Geology with an emphasis in Hydrogeology, and was very excited to find a job in my field. I was drawn to County government and the opportunity to make an impact on the community, particularly in the environmental field. During my time at Skagit, I’ve had my managers above me move into different roles, leaving openings that I was fortunate to advance into. Taking the position of Solid Waste Division Manager meant the biggest change as I was then moving into management of the entire solid waste program, including a multi-million dollar budget and two dozen employees. The last nine years have been an exciting challenge, and have given me many opportunities for growth both personally and professionally. What do you see as the most valuable aspect of your affiliate group? I think any one of our solid waste members would say that the most valuable part of our group are the other members. I’ve found that building relationships with my peers across the state gives me a huge knowledge base to reach out to with any problems or questions, as well as camaraderie and support. Many of us are the only solid waste manager at our counties, and having others to reach out to can be a great resource. The other valuable aspect of our group is the organization of our collective voice on solid waste issues across the state. The WACSWM affiliate is a fairly new group and was formed because there were large changes in solid waste legislation, and our individual counties often lacked the resources to address these issues. Being together as an affiliate group means we have the support to weigh in on these issues and are seen as important member among other agencies and private sectors to be brought into these solid waste discussions. What has been your favorite part of being Co-Chair? My favorite part of being co-chair is helping to plan our annual meetings in June and our affiliate meetings at the County Leader Conference each November. It is gratifying to help put together this time for our members to join together, and to make progress on WACSWM goals for solid waste management across Washington. Our time in June especially gives us a chance to really focus on what we would like to see for our programs, and gives us the chance to spend valuable time brainstorming and discussing these issues. Is there anything else you would like to share? I would like to extend a sincere thanks to our affiliate leader, Travis Dutton, and former leader, Paul Jewell. They have both been so valuable in turning our group into the professional resource it is today. Travis is a former member that moved into his role as a Policy Coordinator at WSAC, so he has a very deep understanding of the issues that face solid waste managers across the state. Paul has provided so much knowledge and experience of the legislative process, which has been extremely valuable as we see increased solid waste legislation every year. Our group has been made so much stronger by having them with us and I know we all appreciate everything they do for us through WSAC!

Trisha Logue Budget and Finance Director Skagit County Tell us a little about what brought you to your current county role: My career in County government began as an Accounting Tech just three days before Thanksgiving, which also happened to be my 24th birthday. I worked three days, received two paid days off, and within 40 days, had worked 27 days, been paid for 31, and even received a raise on January 1st. Coming from the private sector, I couldn’t believe it. Was this a dream? Working for County government was not something I necessarily sought out. Initially my choice was pragmatic - I sought an accounting role in the same city where my husband worked. Unaware of the depth and complexity, I had no idea about the structure of County government, who the Commissioners were (or even that they existed), let alone that performing the accounting functions would be like managing the books for 50+ different businesses! I immediately noticed significant differences compared to the private sector including a better work-life balance, a work culture that truly supported employees, and leadership that cared deeply about community. This was the beginning of what has become a lifelong career at Skagit County. Over time, I discovered my passion for public service, recognizing that my work directly benefited the community rather than serving purely profit-driven objectives. After ten years in the Public Works Department, the County Administrator recruited me as the Budget & Finance Administrator, enabling me to engage with all county departments and significantly broaden my knowledge of government. The opportunity to work closely with the Commissioners, other local elected officials, and many talented leaders provided the opportunity to stretch as a leader. This journey led to continued growth and prepared me for the next chapter in County leadership. Fast forward another 15 years, when appointed as County Administrator, I embraced the opportunity and challenges inherent in this executive leadership role. Today, after three decades of service, my dedication to serving Skagit County remains stronger than ever. County government provides the opportunity to work with incredibly talented leaders, each with their own passions and vision for the County. I now have the opportunity to implement public policy and carry forward the goals of the organization. The County I have spent my career serving is the County in which my husband and I have raised our now adult children. Having the opportunity to be actively engaged in work that had a significant role in shaping local community for my family and all families in Skagit County was not something I expected when I chose accounting as my professional field. In the end, it turns out it was not a dream. The journey has been incredible, and I am forever thankful to have landed in County government. What do you see as the most valuable aspect of your affiliate group? The Washington Counties Administration Association has been a tremendously valuable resource throughout my career. The professional network has expanded beyond Administrators to include anyone that contributes to the overall functioning of county operations, regardless of job title. It serves counties of all sizes and offers space to share best practices, ask specific operational questions, and exchange success stories. The affiliate has been a conduit for broadening my knowledge as a leader, helping me be informed on state and local government policy trends and building professional relationships. It has been extremely beneficial to learn from leaders in other parts of the State with varying organizational dynamics which would have been nearly impossible to coordinate without the structure of the affiliate network. The knowledge sharing opportunities are available year-round, however during the legislative session, WSAC hosts regular conference calls where members receive updates directly from staff regarding what is happening in Olympia. This provides a forum for leaders to understand the impacts of legislation for counties of different sizes, and gain knowledge and perspective to benefit of their organization. At the legislative briefings we are kept well informed about the status of key bills, what’s included – or excluded – from proposed budgets, and what WSAC priorities are advancing. The affiliate has been a community of professionals with common interests and shared goals. We are all rich in knowledge, and the affiliate gives us the opportunity to collaborate with others who share the same interest. The affiliate is small enough that we all know each other by name, yet large enough to offer a wide range of perspectives and experience. Our annual conference is a time we get to dive deep into issues that matter to all counties or seek guidance on specific challenges. It’s an opportunity to connect and find new ways to better serve our individual communities. This has allowed me to use my peers as sounding boards, establish a support system of experienced people who are motivated to get things done, and help each other. By far, the return on investment is exponential, and WCAA has provided me support and mentorship as my career path has evolved. What has been your favorite part of being President? I have been a member of the affiliate for over 15 years. Initially, I hesitated to assume a leadership role due to concerns about balancing additional responsibilities alongside my full-time position. Taking on one more thing seemed overwhelming. However, thanks to my absence at a meeting, I unexpectedly became the affiliate’s Secretary. This “quasi-forced opportunity” turned out to be a blessing. Accepting a leadership role provided a supportive environment for continued growth. As mentorship is a critical leadership function, holding a leadership role offers an opportunity to mentor newer affiliate members and provide guidance and support they need to overcome challenges they are facing in their home community, hopefully preparing them for future affiliate leadership positions. By far, the best thing about the last six years has been the people I have come to know and am privileged to work alongside. From the County Administrator in a small county who also manages Human Resources and Public Health, to counterparts in larger counties with full departments and deputies in place, to the amazing staff that support us every day at WSAC, I am fortunate for the relationships we have developed as champions of County government. Is there anything else you would like to share? Engaging actively with WCAA while serving Skagit County has profoundly enriched my professional journey, particularly through successfully managing complex budget cycles, navigating legislative changes, and fostering lasting collaborative relationships. Looking ahead, I am excited to support new affiliate leaders and initiatives aimed at enhancing county efficiency and responsiveness, ensuring that our local counties remain strong and adaptive to community needs.
