ALASKA RESOURCES GUBERNATORIAL FORUM: CANDIDATES SHARE VISION FOR OUR FUTURE
RDC SPOTLIGHT: CELEBRATING THE TRADES WITH MIKE ROWE, HOST OF "DIRTY JOBS"
VOLUME 3 | ISSUE 3 | SEPTEMBER 2026
In late September, RDC had the honor of co-hosting the Alaska Resources Gubernatorial Forum with our fellow trade associations and memberships. All four candidates came to share their vision for Alaska and answer tough questions on issues facing Alaska's resource development industries. Thank you to the candidates, our co-hosts and our attendees who packed the room for this important dialogue. A full recording of the forum is available at www.akrdc.org.
In late July, RDC Executive Director Connor Hajdukovich was honored to join Alaska Sen. Dan Sullivan, "Dirty Jobs" TV host Mike Rowe, and Amy Schumacher, the Director of the Fairbanks Pipeline Training Center, to discuss the importance of workforce development and the growing demand for skilled trades in Alaska. As our state’s opportunities continue to grow, prepar- ing Alaskans for careers that support energy, infrastruc- ture and resource development projects remains a top priority for RDC and its member industries. We extend a special thank you to Wells Fargo, an RDC member company, for its generous $250,000 investment in the Pipeline Training Center and $250,000 to the Alaska Vocational and Technical Center (AVTEC) in Homer. These donations will help expand workforce training opportuni- ties and equip the next generation of skilled workers. Thank you to everyone working to strengthen Alaska's workforce and invest in the people who will build our state's future!
