Interested in Joining the Inletkeeper Board of Directors?

Cook Inletkeeper is seeking nominations and applicants for our Board of Directors! We’re looking for engaged, community-minded people from across the Cook Inlet watershed | Tikahtnu K’egh’uh who care deeply about protecting the lands and waters we all love. We believe lasting change comes from science, stewardship, and solidarity, and from people willing to show up for community and commit to this place we call home.

We’re looking for people who are:

  • Passionate about stewardship and connection to the Cook Inlet | Tikahtnu K’egh’uh watershed
  • Ready to contribute their time, perspective, and care for our community
  • Willing to support fundraising and advance our advocacy, science, and outreach work
  • Guided by high ethical standards and a commitment to a healthy economy, a clean energy future, and a sound, protected environment

  • Alaska Native community members and others who reflect the rich diversity of our region
  • People of varied genders, generations, and geographic communities
  • Individuals with legal, nonprofit, business, or other professional experience

We understand not wanting to add fuel to an unpopular opinion from one board member, but members have a right to know what is discussed at board meetings and the intentions of the board members, popular or unpopular.
