Board of Directors

For over 108 years, the Anchorage Chamber of Commerce has been able to advance a successful business climate because of its hard-working staff and dedicated Board of Directors. The board represents both large and small businesses with diverse backgrounds and vocations and makes decisions about issues with the needs of the entire membership in mind. The board is composed entirely of volunteers who support the business community, attend monthly board meetings, and Anchorage Chamber events.
Former members of the board of directors include Mayors George Wuerch and Zach Loussac; Augie Hiebert, who was instrumental in bringing telecommunications to Alaska; and Robert Atwood, who was a pioneer in the Anchorage newspaper industry.
