41st Annual AFN Convention

description: Shaping Our Future Safety ~ Security ~ Self Sufficiency October 23-28, 2006 Over the past few years, in its annual conventions, in a series of National forums, and in the highly successful Alaska Marketplace, AFN has concentrated its efforts on different aspects of self-determination: initiatives that promote access to and improve the quality of education and health care in our communities, initiatives that strengthen self-sufficiency and engender respect for our culture and way of life, and initiatives that support economic activity in rural Alaska -- based not only on the vast resources of Alaska’s land, but on the rich knowledge possessed by our people. We propose to continue the theme of self-sufficiency as we, along with the state and the nation prepare for a possible influenza pandemic. In order to ensure our safety and security, we must prepare to meet this challenge at the local, regional and statewide levels. This will include strengthening our public safety and health systems, arming our regional non-profits and villages with the knowledge and capacity to address the challenges inherent in a pandemic, and informing individuals, families and communities on how to prepare for and fight the flu pandemic. We propose to focus this year’s Convention on “Building Safety, Security and Self-Sufficiency in our Native Communities.” Location: Egan Center , Anchorage, Alaska

Events module broken

Submitted by rwk on Wed, 12/01/2004 - 8:22am.

This site's "Events Module" broke; I took it off line for a bit; it will be back after I've diagnosed the problem and made the repair. It's tough having a damaged wrist -- I can't spend much time on the keyboard.
