Board of Directors

Members of the Board of Directors of the Handcrafted Soap & Cosmetic Guild are elected for two-year terms. Three board seats come up for election on even years, and three board seats and the Presidency come up for election on odd years. Elections take place in the spring at the Annual Conference. Terms start on July 1 and end on June 30.

The HSCG President and Board serve as volunteers and are not paid. Those who have chosen to serve on the Board have shown their true dedication to the HSCG and the handcrafted soap and cosmetic industry through their selfless service to and for the HSCG.

Tracy Heppes

Vice President

Tracy was born and raised in Louisville/Elizabethtown, Kentucky. Her family was one of the first 15 settlers in Elizabethtown, KY! In 2004, she moved to Ohio where she met her husband, Jason. They, together with their 15-year-old son, live in Xenia, OH. In 2014, she was asked by a friend if she wanted to attend a Soapmaking Boot Camp. She fell in love with the process as well as the new art form as it satisfied both her inner chemist and artist.

Tracy owns Tracy Heppes Creations, is the Local Chapter President for the Kentucky So. Ohio chapter and has been a member of the HSCG since 2017.

Sara Golding

Secretary/Treasurer

Owner of Sunny Girl Sundries, Sara Golding takes great pride in creating useful bath and body products that brings a smile to their users. Having a beautiful product in low waste and sustainable packaging is at the heart of all Sunny Girl products. By cashing in on her 20+ years of retail and business experience, Sara continually strives to become more efficient in her processes. These are the same tips and tricks she shares in her Making Soap Magazine articles, and now to the Soap Conference attendees! Being able to use these tricks has freed up untold hours of unnecessary work. All of which allows her to carefully handcraft her soaps and still have time to focus on her tween-age daughter Isabell, her bouncy rescue pup Lucy, and her ever-growing collection of plants and flowers!
