Nominations Sought for Board of Governors
Nominations are now being accepted for the Alaska Bar Association Board of Governors. The deadline is Friday, February 20, 2026. Individuals looking to apply must complete a nominating petition and submit a resume and/or a letter with a statement of your background, which will be posted on the Bar’s website. Nominating petitions and statements should be submitted to Executive Director Danielle Bailey at bailey@alaskabar.org.
The seats listed below are either vacant or set to expire. Board terms are typically three years; however, one vacant seat in the 3rd Judicial District represents the remainder of a term ending in April 2027. Because there are three vacancies in the 3rd Judicial District, a single election will be held to fill all three positions. The two candidates receiving the highest number of votes will be elected to full three-year terms. The candidate receiving the third-highest number of votes will be elected to the term ending in April 2027. Individuals who have indicated their intent to run again are marked with an asterisk (*).
