In Alliance pre-proposal work, it became apparent that in order to do this work effectively we cannot simply rely on meeting at a statewide level. Regional breakouts of The Alliance help determine what is working and what challenges and expectations exist at the regional level. There is also the reality that Recover Alaska does not hold all the important relationships, nor should we.

The purpose of identifying and collaborating with a regional co-chair is to empower leaders around the state to interact with their regional partners in real-time, acting as liaisons between their region and the overall Alliance. The regions, as defined for the purposes of The Alliance, are Northern, Southwest, Anchorage/Mat-Su, Gulf Coast, Interior, and Southeast. This regional breakout is likely to expand as The Alliance grows.
