Respecting the economic partnership between Alaska and
Tacoma, the Chamber’s President & CEO Tom Pierson attended the 33rd
annual Alaska Resources Conference held Nov. 14-15 in Anchorage.
Joining Tom from Tacoma was John Parrott, Pres., Totem Ocean
Trailer Express, Inc. for a whirlwind series of conference sessions and
meetings with local businesses. Thanks
to the support of Carlile Transportation System, Tom was able to strengthen his
relationships with Alaska business leaders.
His contacts included Bill Popp, Pres., Anchorage Economic
Development Commission, Kara Moriarity, Executive Director, Alaska Oil and Gas
Association and Karen Matthias, Alaska representative for the Port of Tacoma.
Alaska Governor Sean Parnell (recently hosted in Tacoma by
the Chamber’s Alaska Committee) and Anchorage Mayor Dan Sullivan (visited by
the Chamber-led Tacoma delegation to the Alaska State Chamber Conference),
honored the Resource Development Conference with remarks directed to the
economic opportunities in Alaska.
Tom recently published comments in his October op-ed piece
for the Business Examiner, were read
and praised by numerous Alaskans as he visited their state again.
