Alaska Support Industry Alliance seeks to fill board seats

1

The Alaska Support Industry Alliance Board Nominations & Elections Committee is seeking candidates to serve on its Board of Directors, with seven seats available in the Fiscal Year 2026 election. Each term spans three years.

One incumbent has already announced intentions to run again, while the remaining seats are open to new candidates. Election results will be announced at the Alliance’s annual meeting on Thursday, Oct. 23 at the Anchorage Downtown Marriott. Newly elected members will begin their service the following day, Oct. 24.

The Alliance is a nonprofit trade organization representing more than 500 member companies that together provide more than 35,000 Alaskan jobs tied to the oil, gas, and mining industries. Its membership is broad, ranging from electricians and engineers to caterers and consultants, from construction experts to computer specialists, bankers, educators, and more.

The group’s mission is to advocate for the safe, environmentally responsible development of Alaska’s oil, gas, and mineral resources for the benefit of all Alaskans. Board members carry out this mission by improving the business climate for the support industry, communicating with lawmakers in Juneau, educating the public about industry issues, and participating in Alliance events throughout the year.

Board service requires a time commitment of 5 to 10 hours per month, including meetings, committee work, and networking. Members are eligible to serve a maximum of two consecutive three-year terms.

To be considered, candidates must submit a written statement of candidacy, a biography highlighting their professional and industry involvement, and an electronic headshot. All materials must be received by the Alliance office no later than Friday, Sept. 5.

The Alliance, recognized as Alaska’s premier support industry organization, recently named Skeet Black of Big Ray’s as its incoming president. More information about the Alliance is at this link.

  1. Just an FYI: I would hope that any candidate would be interested in how we get gas from the North Slope to Alaskan residents before 2027.
