About Us

The Board of Governors consists of twelve (12) members, nine (9) attorney members, and three (3) non-attorney citizen members. The nine active members of the Alaska Bar are elected by their peers to govern the affairs of the Association. Serving three-year staggered terms, two attorneys represent the First Judicial District, four are from the Third Judicial District, two serve the Second and Fourth Judicial Districts, and one member is elected at-large. The Board fills any vacancy through appointment until the next election. The three citizen members are appointed by the governor and are subject to legislative confirmation. These public members also serve staggered three-year terms.

On October 25, 2023, the Board of Governors adopted its three-year strategic plan.  The plan has three main goals: (1) Reduce access to justice gap and build attorney pipeline; (2) Ensure the Bar is more reflective of the people it serves; and (3) Increase public service and efficiency of the Bar: engage, understand, and communicate.  For more information on our strategic plan and a timeline for implementation, please see our website here.
