  Your AMC membership allows us to advocate for transit issues in Juneau and Washington DC as well as around the state. Your support is greatly appreciated and I look forward to working with all of you in 2015/2016.

  If you know of an individual or organization that believes in the importance of public and community transportation in Alaska, please encourage them to become an individual or organizational transit member. They can become a member online.

AMC BOARD RETREAT - January 27 at AARP 

  Thanks to a generous donation from the Alaska Department of Transportation and Public Facilities and AARP, the Alaska Mobility Coalition (AMC) board of directors held a face-to-face board meeting on January 27th at the Anchorage office of AARP.  The training was conducted by Joella White with the Foraker Group. The training focused on board roles and responsibilities and financial oversight for board of directors.  I have attached a copy of the training materials for your review.

If you are interested in serving on an AMC committee, please contact Doug Bridges (AMC president) or myself for more information:

AMC TRANSITION

January 30, 2015

Dear AMC members:

It is with a mixture of sadness and excitement, that I inform you I am leaving the AMC. My last day with the Alaska Mobility Coalition (AMC) will be on February 17^th. Starting in mid-February I will begin working for the Municipality of Anchorage as their Senior Services Coordinator.

The AMC board of directors, Casey (AMC Membership Assistant), and I are working on a transition plan as we look to the future of the organization as well as the hiring and recruitment process for a new Executive Director. Doug Bridges, AMC Board President, is leading the transition team. As the transition plan is developed we will keep you appraised of our progress.  We want to take this opportunity to express our continued dedication and commitment to the current projects and activities, including our outreach efforts in Fairbanks and advocacy in Juneau for the state match funds.

The key to the success of the AMC over the last 7 ½ years has been our vocal and diverse membership. The creation of the Governor's Community and Public Transportation Advisory Board as well as the State Match for Public and Community Transportation would not have come about without the support of our members. On behalf of myself and the entire AMC board of directors, I would like to thank you for your continued support of the AMC. As an AMC member, I am excited about the direction the organization is taking and I look forward to be involved as a active member in the future.

Thanks again for your support of the AMC and if you want to get a hold of me in the future, I can be reached at davidlevyak@gmail.com. If you have any questions about the transition process or current project activities please contact Doug Bridges atDoug.bridges@ccsjuneau.org or Casey Anderson at caseyamc@gmail.com.

Sincerely,     

David M. Levy

Executive Director
