Our Programs

Legislative Fly-in

In alignment with our vision,  ANVCA promotes interaction of our Members and Partners with lawmakers in Juneau and Washington D.C. 


ANVCA takes one trip to Juneau (typically in February) and one trip to Washington DC (typically in September) with its member organizations each year.  


ANVCA offers advanced training and preparation for individuals new to advocacy work, makes arrangements for specific meetings (and other events) and coordinates the entire Fly-In around our common goals.  

Fishnet Lunches

Fishnet Lunches are ANVCA’s version of a lunch and learn. Each lunch is  assigned a specific topic to benefit Members and Partners.  ANVCA takes the opportunity to address and discuss items relevant to Alaska Native Village Corporations. The lunches are open to the public, however Members and Partners may receive a special entry discount. These lunches often feature local guest speakers and topics of high importance to Members and Partners.

Annual Meeting and Business Conference

ANVCA hosts our Annual meeting and election of the board, within our two-day conference that provides Alaska Native Village Corporations with current and relevant topics. This conference is unique in the fact that it is the only conference dedicated to Alaska Native Corporations collaborating, sharing best practices, information and strategies along with providing the opportunity to meet other professionals serving in similar positions.
