ence for the Board. He’s thoughtful and meticu- lous in his decision-making but always open to hearing others’ views. Please welcome and congratulate Skeet the next time you see him. The future for natural resource development in Alaska is looking strong. Of real importance is finding and producing the up-and-coming leaders for this industry. Velocity AK, which the Alliance helped create, is an organization to equip the next generations of Alaskans for the respon- sible development of Alaska’s resources. You can find a link to their website on the Alliance home page. Encourage your younger staff to participate in the multitude of events Velocity hosts each year. It has been an honor and privilege to lead the Alliance for this past year. I’m proud of what the Alliance has and will accomplish to promote re- sponsible resource development in Alaska.
