ne of the things that I enjoy most about working at Alaska Business Publishing Co. is the opportunity to make connections with amazing people in our local business community. The power of community brings together our readers, our Alaska Business Publishing Co. team, and our other partners and connects us in a common mission of supporting and advocating for Alaska’s business community.

It takes a diverse mix of businesses to keep the Alaska economy pumping. At a World Trade Center luncheon earlier this year discussing the value of commercial and international markets, I was reminded that the Export Council wouldn’t exist without Alaska’s small businesses. With the diversity of businesses in our state, there are some common denominators, one of which is Alaska Business magazine.

Reading feedback I’ve received this year, I feel encouraged that we are succeeding in our mission of helping foster our business community and supporting each other to grow our businesses and make each other stronger. Here are a few recent comments I’ve received:

“I read Alaska Business because it allows me to keep up with industry trends; I learn from other business individuals and about other companies.”

“We love getting our monthly issue in the mail to put out to our employees to stay informed. I enjoy their website and social media to keep up with the movement of key personnel and industry trends.”
