Partners in these campaigns may include rural residents, remote gateway communities and local governments, tourism businesses and representatives, wildlife advocates, Alaska Native tribes and tribal members, and current and former military personnel. The Campaign Director will work closely with the other members of the small Alaska team, and cheerful cooperation and accountability to team members is a must.
