Alaska Association of Student Government

Students and their advisors from all over Alaska were able to Zoom in to the Alaska Association of Student Governments virtual Fall 2021 conference hosted by Palmer High School. The theme of our Fall conference was “Climbing To Unity.”

Although this was a “virtual” conference, there was plenty of involvement by AASG members. Schools from throughout Alaska submitted videos displaying their versions of what it means to Climb to Unity! Also videos of the popular conference games like P.A.R.T.Y. and Bang Bang Choo Choo Train were made available on the conference website.

Of course there was a lot of serious work done at the conference, too. Schools submitted resolutions to the General Assembly and the resulting debates were as spirited as ever. The passed resolutions will be available on the resolution page here.

Alaska Governor Mike Dunleavy was the conference key-note speaker. After his prepared remarks conference attendees were able to ask him questions regarding many vital topics affecting our state.

Elections/selections for vacant e-board positions were held with a new secretary and parliamentarian selected. Our new E-board members will be sworn in during the November E-board meeting.

Special thanks to our hosts, Palmer advisors Kimberly Akers and Scott Baker and our two student registrars Elora Baker and Keegan Gerkin.

AASG is now accepting applications to host our Spring and Fall 2022 conferences. Conferences are an exciting opportunity for both the students that attend and the schools that host them. Schools both small and large from throughout the state have hosted past conferences. There have also been schools who have teamed up to co-host conferences. Whether live, virtual, small school or large, conferences keep schools working together. A conference is a major event for your school and community and a great way to show off what makes them great! Plus, the host school receives 10% of the profits from the conference.
