“Make it Monday” forum
For more than 65 years, the “Make it Monday” forums have provided members with educational opportunities from industry updates, municipal and government reports, to economic forecasts and new industry outlooks.
The Monday forum is much more than an educational event. It is member appreciation and recognition. More than 40 luncheons are held each year with attendance ranging from 30 to 80+ each week. In addition to new member spotlights, door prizes, updates from the non-profit sector, and reports from the Anchorage School District’s School Business Partnership, there is so much to learn at the forum. Media is often in attendance, as many presentations are newsworthy topics that affect all Alaskans.
