Alaska Department of Fish and Game Recognizes 2019 Advisory Committee Excellence in Service Award Winners

(Juneau) — Alaska Department of Fish and Game Acting Commissioner Doug Vincent-Lang is pleased to be joined by Board of Game Chair Ted Spraker and Board of Fisheries Chair Reed Morisky to honor the 2019 Advisory Committee Excellence in Service Award winners. The Excellence in Service Award recognizes outstanding contributions in service to Alaska's communities, fish and wildlife, and regulatory process by Fish and Game Advisory Committee members across the state. The 2019 awardees are:

  • Charlie Lean, Northern Norton Sound
  • Mike Crawford, Kenai/Soldotna
  • Dave Rak, Wrangell
  • Moses Johnson, Sitka
  • Richard Burnham, Middle Yukon

Alaska's advisory committee structure contributes to making Alaska the nation's leading example of a locally-driven fish and game management system. More than 700 Alaskans belong to 84 advisory committees up and down the coast and throughout the interior, arctic and southcentral. It is through the excellent work of these volunteer individuals that regulatory bodies like the Alaska Boards of Game and Fisheries develop regulations that are responsive to local needs.
