2021 Summer Legislative Conference

August 4-6, 2021
Westmark Hotel in Fairbanks, AK

AML is proud to host our annual Summer Legislative Conference – in-person! – August 4-6, 2021 in Fairbanks. We invite local government mayors and managers, as well as other officials, to attend what promises to be a welcome resumption of AML activities.

2021 Summer Legislative Conference

The Summer Legislative Conference is traditionally focused on 1) an update on legislative action that may have impacted local governments, 2) review of outstanding issues found in bills or the budget, and 3) preparation of AML’s policy and position statement. We’ll hear from our lobbying team, State officials and legislators, and discuss priorities facing local governments. The Fairbanks North Star Borough is hosting a reception on Wednesday night and dinner Thursday night is on your own but coordinated in small groups so that you can visit with one another and reconnect.

This year’s schedule is augmented by other activities going on. We’ll kick off the week with the Conference of Young Alaskans, help host the Alaska Defense Forum, and include meetings of both AMMA and ACoM. Please indicate what you plan to attend, and the fee encompasses participation in all events except for COYA. For more information about COYA, visit here.

A courtesy room block has been reserved for AML Conference attendees. There is a 15% off Flexible Rate Group discount by using the code ‘AKMUN073121’.  Hotel rooms may be booked online at www.westmarkhotels.com or via phone (800) 544-0970. Rooms must be booked by July 24th to receive the 15% off Flexible Rate discount.
