Our Team

The people behind Alaska Entrepreneurship Week

Alaska Entrepreneurship Week is organized entirely by volunteers. Our leadership team coordinates city-level events, statewide partnerships, and community engagement across Alaska.

Statewide Co-Chairs

AKEW's Statewide Co-Chairs serve on a volunteer basis with zero compensation. They coordinate the initiative statewide and ensure it remains mission-driven and accountable. Learn more about AKEW governance →
