Goodenberger is chair of the Lower Columbia Preservation Society and is active with a number of other preservation-related organizations such as Columbia Pacific Preservation, Clatsop Community College Historic Preservation Advisory Committee, and the Historic Assessment Review Committee.
The SACHP is a nine-member group that reviews nominations to the National Register of Historic Places and makes recommendations to the State Historic Preservation Officer on the eligibility of nominated properties. The members are professionally recognized in the fields of history, architecture, archaeology, and other related disciplines.
The committee holds public meetings around the state three times a year.
