Southeast Conference News July 2012

Dear Southeast Conference 

                                   Newsletter Readers, 

 

           We have an important announcement about the commemoration of our Alaska Marine Highway System. Please read the letter included below. 
 
          Please contact ShellyW@seconference.org for more information, and to donate.

          We encourage you to forward this email to your friends and family, and be a part of the efforts of Southeast Conference. 

 Alaska Marine Highway System 

50th Anniversary Commemoration 

 

Dear Southeast Conference Member;

 

                Alaska Public Television's KTOO-TV is undertaking an exciting year-long project to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the Alaska Marine Highway System.  The oral history and preservation aspects of Alaska Marine Highway - Golden Anniversary will culminate in four one-hour public television documentary and oral history programs airing across Alaska and North America. 

 

                Three non-competing sponsors at $40,000 each will fund this important Alaska maritime history project and make it available to all Alaskans.  Southeast Conference will be one of those very important sponsors and you as a member of Southeast Conference can help us with this sponsorship.

 

                Southeast Conference was created in 1958, minutes from that meeting state "FERRY FIRST". Ten mayors and 20 other representatives from Southeast Alaska towns, met with E.J. Haugen, Petersburg, & first division member of the Alaska Highway and Public Works Board, unanimously agreed the Southeast Alaska ferry system was the top priority project they wanted.  The Conference adopted a resolution (the first of many) to this effect and set a target date of 1960 for getting the ferry into operation making Southeast Conference a major player in the formation of the Alaska Marine Highway System. 

 

                We are asking our members to support the efforts of Alaska Public Television's KTOO-TV, and contribute to the $40,000 so Southeast Conference can help sponsor this wonderful project.

 

                Contact us at shellyw@seconference.org to donate. 

 

                Sincerely, 

Southeast Conference Board of Directors

First Meeting of 

The Southeast Conference 

 

                 This news article was published after the first meeting of The Southeast Conference and was archived by the Petersburg Public Library. We must give a big thanks to the Petersburg Library for retaining this article, which shows an important part of Alaska's history set forth during this meeting. 

Sponsorship Opportunities 

  

             We invite you to be a sponsor of Southeast Conference and help us support activities that promote strong economies, healthy communities, and a quality environment in Southeast Alaska. 

 

            Annual sponsors receive recognition at both the Mid-Session Summit and the Annual Meeting, as well as on our website. Sponsorships are opportunities to advertise and build name recognition in the Southeast communities. Annual Sponsors support special projects that SEC members choose to accomplish. For example, the modeling project we are currently working on with McDowell Group.

The mission of Southeast Conference is to undertake and support activities that promote strong economies, healthy communities, and a quality environment in Southeast Alaska.
