Winter/Spring Breakfast Forums: A Successful Season Wrap-Up!
We'd like to extend a heartfelt thank you to everyone who attended our Winter/Spring Breakfast Forum Series. We saw over 1,000 attendees over the January-May season! (That's a LOT of bacon!)
Your participation helped make this season's forums a great success! We hosted a variety of engaging forums featuring insightful speakers and thought-provoking discussions on a wide range of topics - from valuable lessons shared by our friends at Alaska Resource Education to updates from the legislature and leaders in Alaska's natural resource industries.
We look forward to seeing you at our future events, and we hope you will join us again in the fall for another season of inspiring forums!
Fall Season Passes Available This August! Stay tuned for more details and the official announcement soon!
