Alaska Department of Fish and Game Recognizes 2018 Advisory Committee Excellence in Service Award Winners

(Juneau) — Alaska Department of Fish and Game Commissioner Sam Cotten is pleased to be joined by Board of Game Chair Ted Spraker and Board of Fisheries Chair John Jensen to honor the department's 2018 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 2018 awardees are:

  • James Charles, Lower Kuskokwim AC
  • Raymond Oney, Coastal Lower Yukon AC
  • Don Quarberg, Delta AC
  • Barbara Carlson, Stony-Holitna AC
  • Tim McDonough, Upper Lynn Canal AC

Each of these individuals is recognized for their many years of service and leadership on their local fish and game advisory committees. We sincerely thank them for their dedication in representing their communities in the fish and game regulatory process.

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. 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.
