Northern Center Events

The Alaska Industrial Development and Export Authority (AIDEA) is a state-funded corporation with hundreds of millions of dollars in its control and little to no public oversight. Join us for a community gathering to discuss AIDEA and its influence on Alaska’s future. We will have expert speakers, food and drinks, music, educational materials, and community! Guest speakers include Economist Milt Barker & Executive Director of the Gwich’in Steering Committee Kristen Moreland.

Co-Hosted by: Sierra Club Alaska Chapter, The Wilderness League and the Northern Center
