Board of Directors

AKSNA Board March 2023

The AKSNA Board of Directors is a volunteer board. Board members are actively employed school nutrition professionals who donate extra time to leading and supporting the Association. The board is a diverse working group comprised of school district and state agency staff representing both rural and urban Alaskans of all generations.

Volunteering has many professional and personal benefits; please consider donating a few hours a month to AKSNA to support school nutrition professionals across our great state. Learn more about volunteer opportunities and time commitments.
