Diversity Committee Meeting

In September, members of Future Elders' Indigenous Team, Trina Landlord and Darbi Daley, will discuss how their work is shaping wellness, identity, and diversity within Alaska Native and Indigenous communities.

The diversity committee's mission is to better serve and advocate for the business community by becoming a more open, inclusive, and diverse organization reflective of the make-up of Anchorage. To accomplish this we envision a board that reflects the demographics of our city and a growing membership of businesses representing the diversity of our business owners and entrepreneurs.
