Board of Directors

The Anchorage Chamber of Commerce leadership has worked diligently to make sure the board of directors is diverse, both in experience, vocation and background.

The Anchorage Chamber is closely involved with government at all levels, with many of our current and former board members in positions of power within local and state government. Big business is represented on the board as well as sole proprietorships. Banking, transportation, public relations, education and the military are represented.

However diverse the board is, they do have a commonality: they are all business men and women volunteering their time to make Anchorage a better place to do business. Attendance at twice-monthly board meetings, public speaking engagements, committee work and networking are all a part of their "jobs" as volunteer leaders of the Anchorage Chamber of Commerce and the community.
