Southwest Alaska: The Genuine Aquabounty
Southwest Alaska Economic Summit and Annual SWAMC Membership Meeting

Please join Southwest Alaska Municipal Conference members, Southwest Alaskan elected officials, businesses and residents, agencies, and other regional stakeholders for the 24th Southwest Alaska Economic Summit and Annual SWAMC Membership Meeting, which will take place February 16-17, 2012 at the Hotel Captain Cook in Anchorage. This annual event gives attendees a chance to network, learn about and discuss important development topics, and reach consensus on policy issues that affect Southwest Alaska. As usual, the Economic Summit will feature many of the topics that are critical to economic development in rural Alaska, primarily in the Southwest region. The theme of the meeting - Southwest Alaska: The Genuine Aquabounty - typifies the true qualities of the region and conjures up the identity of what a real aquabounty looks like.

The conference this year will feature rural energy solutions, the SW Transportation Plan, a dialogue with both our State and Federal legislative delegations, and more. Naturally, the meeting will also have a heavy focus on fishing and commercial seafood production by exploring the economics, policy, business, and community factors that go into the sausage making of fisheries management.
