Mission
The mission of Southeast Conference is to undertake and support activities that promote strong economies, healthy communities, and a quality environment in southeast Alaska.
Program accomplishments
- Southeast Conference is a designated economic development district (EDD) through the US Economic Development Administration (EDA) and an Alaska regional development organization (ARDOR) through the state of Alaska. 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 work group 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 stakeholder groups, private sector, and municipal and tribal governments.Expenses $10,883,538
- Southeast Conference has spent more than 60 years advocating for the ferry system and is working on a multi-phase approach that will implement structural changes to improve the operability and financial health of the state ferry system in its public service mission. Southeast Conference worked with the Alaska Department of Transportation and Public Facilities and others to create the first Alaska Marine Highway System long-range plan. Southeast Conference has recently been recognized as the Regional Planning Organization for Southeast Alaska.
- 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. 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. Southeast Conference has received funding to assist homeowners transition from oil and wood-based boilers to heat pumps. This multi-year project aims to support installation of 6,100 heat pumps.
