Jenni Lefing, Membership Services Manager
We look forward to seeing many of you November 13-16, 2025, for AASB’s signature event – the Annual Conference, the largest annual gathering of school board members in the state! This gathering is an excellent opportunity for school boards to come together and share ideas, concerns, experiences, and explore ways to collaborate.
Important Venue Update! New Location: Dena’ina Civic and Convention Center
Due to the impacts of Typhoon Halong in Western Alaska, the Egan Convention Center is currently being used as an emergency shelter for displaced residents. AASB’s Annual Conference will now be held at the Dena’ina Civic and Convention Center in Anchorage.
The Youth Leadership Institute (YLI), an integral part of the Conference, will bring high school students together to hone their leadership skills to use their voices to be change-makers in their schools and communities.
Conference sessions will be centered around this year’s theme: Coming Together for Alaska’s Students.
Throughout the conference, there will be opportunities to connect with school board members and students from across the state. This includes meals, connecting during breaks, going to the Friday June Nelson Memorial Scholarship Fundraiser, roundtables, and breakout sessions.
Registration for the event is now open, and we have prepared lots of information to help you plan your trip, including hotel room block information and an Alaska Airlines discount code.
We hope to see you in Anchorage, and reach out to our team with any questions!
