Winter Administrative Conference
AAHPA is committed to supporting Alaska's ports and harbors - and that means not only infrastructure and boats, but also the administrative functions necessary to working ports and harbors! In 2017 and 2018 we held break-out sessions to address administrative topics during the fall conference. These were well attended, and participants had excellent opportunities to network and share challenges, successes, and questions on admin topics.
By popular demand, we are piloting an AAHPA hosted winter conference in Anchorage to focus on administrative issues facing ports and harbors.
Registration
The Winter Administrative conference will be held February 12-13, 2020 at the Anchorage City Hall in downtown Anchorage (see map below). Registration is limited to 40 attendees. The fee is $50 and you can register online here.
