We are a membership organization, our members include municipalities, federally recognized tribes, businesses, native corporations, government agencies, organizations, and individuals located or doing business in southeast Alaska that support the mission of Southeast Conference. We coordinate with our members throughout the region to develop a comprehensive economic development strategy (CEDS) for southeast Alaska. A strategic plan was designed to identify regional priorities for economic and community development. The process is strategy-driven and developed by a diverse workgroup of local representatives from private, public, and nonprofit sectors. By continued involvement with our members through committee and general membership meetings we assist the various groups and communities to use the regional plan as a guidebook and incorporate it into their individual strategic planning process. We also assist in the implementation of the plans by collaborating between different groups, cities and governments. Southeast Conference has spent more than 50 years advocating for the ferry system and is working on a multi-phase approach that will identify structural changes to improve the operability and financial health of the state ferry system in its public service mission. Progress in May 2016, the Governor signed a MOU with Southeast Conference in support of these goals and tasked the conference with leading this statewide effort. Phase I mission goals and governance recommendations was complete in December 2016. Phase 2 was completed in November 2017 with the release of the strategic operating business plan. Public outreach and implementation phases continued in 2018. It identified alternative governance structures that could help the AMHS achieve financial sustainability. The report included a high-level examination of six basic ferry governance models to assess their suitability for Alaska's unique geography, markets and transportation needs. Detailed case studies were examined with three ferry systems identified with ideas and lessons applicable to AMHS. Phase II: Twenty-five-year ferry system operating plan was developed January 2017 through December 2017. Phase II included a fleet renewal plan and explored potential partnerships with the private sector and revenue opportunities to allow forward funding of operations and greater fiscal certainty. Goal: The majority of energy consumption and costs paid by most residents, business and residences goes towards diesel space heat. Provide diesel displacement through improved incremental delivery of energy efficiency measures. Educate people regarding energy use. Progress: Southeast Conference has worked with the USDA rural development to promote and conduct energy audits for businesses in southeast Alaska. Over 50 businesses participated in the energy audits. Significant technical work continues to progress on a few district heating system concepts that seek place-based solutions to yield non-energy benefits in addition to lower costs and improved efficiencies. Many of the energy-related projects happening in the region rely upon programs and expertise throughout the region and state, with Southeast Conference playing an integral role. Despite depressed oil prices, the region continued strong efforts toward implementation of fuel conservation and efficiency measures. 1958203 0 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 12 12 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 0 0 0 1 1 1 0 1 0 0 0 X The Southeast Conference 9075863445 PO Box 21989 Juneau AK 99802 Zakary Kirkpatrick Board 1st Vice President 4.00 X X 0 0 0 Katie Koester Board 2nd Vice President 4.00 X X 0 0 0 Kaitlyn Jared President 4.00 X X 0 0 0 Lacey Simpson Board Past President 4.00 X X 0 0 0 Gracia O'Connell Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Dennis Gray Jr Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Chelsea Goucher Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Mark Scheer Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Jan Hill Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 KC Hostetler Director 4.00 X 0 0 0 Liz Cabrera Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Jason Custer Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Alec Mesdag Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Dan Lesh Deputy Director 40.00 X 101913 0 0 Karen Peterson Biomass Coordinator 40.00 X 0 0 0 Robert Venables Executive Director 40.00 X 113667 0 0 215580 0 0 2 0 0 0 0 389084 2001070 2390154 Conference Registratio 900099 69639 69639 69639 7102 7102 33039 0 33039 33039 Non-financial Asset 561000 6000000 6000000 Miscellaneous Revenue 561000 6291 6291 6006291 8506225 6083032 0 33039 X 558365 470669 83049 4647 145820 118482 26024 1314 1326673 1258794 67879 50479 50479 78737 56106 22631 6472 6472 Supplies and Equipment 59147 32944 26203 Scholarships 40000 40000 All other 29853 13463 15953 437 Meetings 1422 1273 149 2296968 1958203 292367 46398 840520 1406845 62865 226834 14924 95603 4072 6441 64336 12944 57864 51392 6000000 321030 980245 8108145 64808 310998 40036 38724 93047 766812 197891 1116534 X 748681 864830 33673 6126781 782354 6991611 980245 8108145 6209257 0 X 0 0 0 RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 0 1 0 64336 12944 51392 51392 Restricted Use Grain Terminal 6000000 C 6000000 Refundable Advances - Grants 445782 Operating Leases - current portion 31612 Operating Leases - non current portion 289418 766812 Form 990, Part VI, Section A, line 6 Membership of Southeast Conference is comprised of municipalities, federally recognized tribes, businesses, government agencies, organizations, and individuals located or doing business in Southeast Alaska.
