As Alaskans approach a new legislative session in January, we are facing a number of critical public policy issues. Our legislators will be asked to make important public policy decisions that will affect Alaskans for many years to come. This week, Commonwealth North will once again host face to face discussions between Alaskans and legislators. Your participation is vital to ensuring your voice is heard by legislators and that you know the criteria they will use to make decisions in the upcoming legislative session.

The Senate President and Speaker of the House will keynote this program to present their legislative priorities for 2020. Then, in table discussions, you will have the opportunity to discuss critical public policy issues with legislators. At last year’s Legislator Meet and Greet program a third of Alaska’s legislators joined us for an outstanding luncheon which received very favorable responses from both legislators and Commonwealth North members.

This is not a campaign, political debate, or cross-examination. It is an opportunity to discuss key issues with well-informed, thoughtful Alaskans.
