History & Purpose
In 1995 the Alaska Committee was officially incorporated as a non-profit corporation charged with enhancing Juneau as Alaska’s capital city. Working closely with the City and Borough of Juneau (CBJ)Assembly and in concert with other groups around the state, the Alaska Committee has successfully initiated numerous projects that have enhanced access to the capital, improved communications and reinforced Juneau’s role as Alaska’s capital city.
From initiating Gavel-to-Gavel public television coverage of the Alaska State Legislature, to working in concert with Alaska Airlines to initiate constituent airfare discounts and RNP/GPS navigation systems, to infrastructure improvements, and to supporting enhanced road and ferry access, CBJ Assembly and Alaska Committee efforts have made a positive difference in efforts to make Juneau a better capital city.
Indeed, Juneau’s motto has become and should remain “Juneau – Serving As Your Capital – Every Day.”
