- Bio
- Rina M. Goodman is a skilled, professional, full-time mediator who works with both represented and pro se clients. She holds certificates of completion in commercial, workplace, and federal workplace mediation from the Northern Virginia Mediation Service. After successfully completing an eighteen-month mediation practicum through the King County Dispute Resolution Center, she was certified to mediate civil and family mediations. In 2007, Rina was recognized by the King County (Washington) Dispute Resolution Center as Mediator- of-the-Year.
Prior to her mediation career, Rina worked as a consultant on complex issues in commercial transactions and bankruptcy; served as plaintiffs’ counsel at employment discrimination mediations; and represented plaintiffs in major aviation mass disaster cases. Frustrated by a backlogged civil trial calendar that resulted in lengthy delays for justice for her clients and dissatisfied with the randomness of many judicial decisions, she turned her focus to mediation.
Rina is past chair of Washington State Bar Association’s Alternative Dispute Resolution Section (2011-2012). She is a member of the ADR Subcommittee of the WSBA Task Force on Eliminating Court Costs in Litigation (ECCL) and has been serving on the planning committee for the Annual Northwest Dispute Resolution Conference since 2008. She also volunteers as a mediator for the Seattle Federal Executive Board’s ADR Consortium.
Rina is a graduate of Sarah Lawrence College (BA), New York University (MA) and the Benjamin N. Cardozo School of Law (JD). She has been an active member of the Washington State Bar since 2004. She was admitted to practice before the U.S. Supreme Court in 1994.

- Not sure which thing you're asking about. So here's the scoop on all:
* your "My Page" is publicly viewable and searchable - a great way to market yourself to both members and the public;
* Approved minutes are available to the public;
* Unapproved minutes are available only to the Executive Committee.
Or was it something else we were talking about?

- Nice wall, Rina! You win the "Creative My Page" award!
Did you get an answer to your message to the ExecComm about minutes?
Short answer is approved minutes are found under the Section News menu-choice, on the Minutes & Financials page.
Longer answer is Anamaria worked out with me a system. When she's drafted them, they're posted on the ExecComm group page for review. After we've approved them, they go on the Minutes & Financials page.
This was also a good opportunity for me to test and experience how to find things. The website's search function (at the top right-hand corner), looking for "minutes," did find the Minutes & Financials page. So that's good. And you can always feel free to contact David (webmaster) or me directly if you're not finding what you need. Thanks for being the explorer!
