"We must change the narrative about our state and become the asset we were meant to be for America through the development of our vast resources. This event helps us all lead change." — Jim Hill, All Pro Alaska Forklift and RDC Board Member “Attending Alaska on the Hill for the first time was an incredibly meaningful experience. I was proud to see such strong engagement from peo- ple across Alaska and a wide range of industries, all coming together to bring key issues to Wash- ington, D.C. My hope is that this momentum con- tinues to grow and that members of Congress across the country continue to hear — and act on — the voices of Alaskans on Alaska’s issues.” — Cheyanna Kuplack, Communications Manager, Doyon Limited
