Preservation Alaska is a statewide nonprofit organization founded in 1981.
Preservation Alaska is a private, statewide, 501c3 non-profit corporation dedicated to the preservation of Alaska’s prehistoric and historic resources through education, promotion, and advocacy. To achieve this mission of historic preservation in Alaska, Preservation Alaska maintains several internal and external committees, programs, and partnerships overseen by a Board of Directors and managed by staff. Preservation Alaska adheres to the principle that preservation of the built environment provides a vital link and visible reminder of the past, emphasizing the continuity and diversity of Alaska. Note: We are presently rebranding as: Preservation Alaska.
Board of Directors should have an interest, knowledge, or professional qualifications in the areas of historic preservation, historic rehabilitation, archaeology, anthropology, or Alaska history, and the ability to work well in a group. In addition, the Preservation Alaska Board looks for members who are willing to commit volunteer time and energy to committee work and who exhibit sensitivity in making constructive critical judgments. To help reflect the diversity of the state, the Preservation Alaska Board considers gender, geographic representation, and cultural background as appropriate when appointing advisors. In addition, the Board seeks balance among the professional groups encompassed by historic preservation, such as practitioners, administrators, and educators.
Board of Directors positions are 3-year terms beginning in the corporate year of January to December. The time commitment depends on which committee (s) the member serves. The Board meets monthly, and committees should meet monthly depending upon committee work. Members are expected to study meeting materials in advance of the meetings.
