T. Scott Collins joined SVPP in 2006, following his friend and fellow Partner Dave Smith’s lead. From the start, Scott has put his SVPP time into CASH Oregon, where he serves as treasurer for CASH's board of directors and helps with the pilot of CASH’s financial advocacy program.
Scott grew up in the small town of Searcy, Arkansas and lived there for 21 years. He attended Harding University, graduating in 1984 having earned his BBA degree in Computer Systems and Accounting. Seeking a break from the south, Scott came west to Oregon, joining his sister here. A life- long love of Oregon began then and continues to grow. "Portland has everything," he says, "it has the best package."
Scott worked for Arthur Andersen in the consulting division for 5 years, then after a year at a healthcare system in the Bay Area, he joined Stockamp and Associates with Dave doing healthcare redesign for 13 years. Retired in 2003, Scott stays busy with his wife Gaila and children, CASH Oregon, church and spending time with friends. He has used his organizational skills at church to streamline food basket distributions during the Thanksgiving season.
