American Fisheries Society Alaska Chapter
2000-2001 Chapter Officers and Committee Chairs


The following is the list of chapter officers and committee chairs for the Alaska Chapter for 2000-2001. The officers and chairs would appreciate your input and assistance during the coming year. Please feel free to contact them with comments and ideas or to express your interest in helping out by serving on a committee. Committee names link to the latest committee report. For information about duties of officers and committees, see our Alaska Chapter Manual. Check out the 2000 Committee Reports for last year's committee's activities (but you should see the Winter 2001 Newsletter for the latest version of the reports!!! ).

Note that a few of the contacts related to the Student Subunit have been updated to represent the 2001-2002 contact to match up with their academic year (rather than the Chapter's usual "year" of late November to the next November).
