关于我们

With over 700 members, the Chamber works to promote a positive business environment in Alaska. Vision To be the leading voice advancing Alaska Business. Mission To promote a healthy business environment in Alaska. Leadership A Board of Directors comprised of 80 members, some elected and some appointed, governs the Alaska Chamber. There are 20 elected representatives from each of the Alaska Senate Districts, 10 elected At-Large representatives from the general membership, 14 Board members appointed by the Chair, a representative from each of Alaska's more than 40 local chambers of commerce, and a representative from each of five Outside chambers of commerce. About the Alaska Chamber In 1953, a few years before Alaska was granted statehood, the "All Alaska" Chamber of Commerce was formed for the purpose of promoting commerce in Alaska. The construction boom, brought about by World War II, was winding down, and Alaska’s business leaders recognized the need for an organized effort to develop a new, stronger economic base for Alaska. The first leaders of the Alaska Chamber discussed tax incentive legislation, development of the state’s forest and mineral resources, promotion of the tourism industry, and increasing agricultural production. With statehood, the name was changed to the Alaska State Chamber of Commerce, and the organization represented the first unified effort to have the voice of business in the state legislature. Under new staff and the direction of the President and CEO, the Alaska State Chamber of Commerce has rebranded to be recognized as the Alaska Chamber.
