Fall Conference 2019 – Growing Together in Palmer!
The Alaska Association of Student Governments is excited to announce that our Fall Conference 2019 will be held November 1-3 at Palmer High School in Palmer.
The theme of our Fall Conference is “Growing Together.”
The conference committee at Palmer is working hard to put on another outstanding conference. They are busy organizing community trips, guest speakers, special events and (of course) the conference dance. Kim Akers and Scott Baker are our conference hosts. Feel free to contact them at kimberly.akers@matsuk12.us or scott.baker@matsuk12.us.
Elections planned for this conference include all six regional representatives and the Junior SBEED rep. Students interested in running can find the application forms here.

Interested in hosting a conference?
Conferences are an exciting opportunity for both the students that attend and the schools that host them.
Past conference hosts Anthony Jensen (Wasilla High), Danielle Lewis (Eagle River High), Elizabeth Bender and Lindsey Glenn (Kodiak High), Barbara Petukh Jackson (Mat-Su Career Tech), Vivian Meyer (Skagway) and Kassandra Mirosh (Tri-Valley) are available to lend support and guidance in your decision to become a conference host school. Host schools will also have the support of the AASG executive board. Our parent organization, the Alaska School Activities Association, has also agreed to forward-fund a portion of your conference, which will help with many of the up-front costs of the conference.
Please go to the conference tools page for more information and the application forms to host an AASG statewide conference.
