Fall Conference – Save the Dates!

The Alaska Association of Student Governments is excited to announce that Palmer High School will be hosting our Fall 2021 Conference! Palmer hosted our last face-to-face conference in the fall of 2019 and we know that this conference will be just as great! Dates for the conference are now October 25 – 26, 2021. The theme of our Fall conference is “Climbing To Unity.”

An executive board Zoom meeting will be held prior to the conference on Saturday, October 23.

Registration for the conference is available here. As this is a virtual conference there is no conference fee. Each participant is expected to review AASG’s On-Line Code of Conduct and submit a signed Virtual Conference Media Release Form to their advisor.

Elections/selections for vacant e-board positions, resolutions, spirit competitions and guest speakers will all be scheduled on line.

As we continue to make student health and safety our top priority, this conference will be held in a virtual setting. Details will be posted as they become available. For more information please contact Palmer advisor Kim Akers at kimberly.akers@matsuk12.us.

See the Fairbanks Channel 11 news story on the conference:
“Statewide Student Government Conference Hosted virtually at West Valley High School”

The incredible students, advisors and administrators at West Valley High School in Fairbanks proved that you CAN have a virtual AASG conference – and have a lot of FUN while doing it! More than 175 student delegates and their advisors from 45 schools throughout Alaska met on-line for AASG’s first-ever virtual conference – celebrating “The Golden Heart of Leadership.”

Like all AASG conferences, this one was packed with guest speakers, general assemblies, resolutions, and cheers, fun and laughter. Over the course of the two days students engaged in workshops covering such topics as “The Power of Gratitude”, “Fit and Healthy for Life”, “Diversity and Equity” and “Alaska Cultural Knowledge.” Resolutions were submitted, debated and voted on covering a wide range of topics important to AASG delegates and their schools.

Outgoing board members were recognized for their hard work and dedication to AASG, junior region representatives were recognized as their region’s senior representative and new board members were welcomed. Former Region 1 representative Caleb Kim, from Bethel Regional High School was welcomed as the new E-board president. Former Region 2 representative Kamea VanDeventer, from Tri-Valley High School was welcomed as the new E-board vice-president. Zoe Patton-Meyer, from Palmer High School was welcomed as the public relations officer. And, Harrison Steeves-Little was welcomed as the new AASG representative to the ASAA board. Other executive board positions are still waiting to be filled (see the paragraph below for more information).

Special thanks to Ms Lorring, Ms Weaver and Ms Gillam at West Valley for their herculean effort in putting together this conference!
