Getting down and dirty to clean up Anchorage
We felt trashy earlier this month, so we grabbed the famous orange garbage bags and headed outside to help beautify our city. We want to thank our friends at Yuit and Thompson & Company for joining us.

We're getting back to real, in-person events!
We had a blast (get it?) at Alaska Resource Education's recent, sold out Sporting Clays Fun Shoot event. It felt good to attend a live, in-person event again in a safe, outdoor setting. Funds raised at the event will help ARE teach more Alaskans about our state’s natural resources, their uses, and related career opportunities.

Now that COVID-19 vaccines are available to almost everyone, communicating respectfully with employees about vaccination is on many companies' minds. We offer tips for doing so in a way that is thoughtful and effective.

Political issues arising in the workplace are increasingly hard to avoid. When should a company speak up: never, always, somewhere in between? Here’s some advice on balancing how and when to get involved.

Look for Blueprint Alaska at these community events:

June 9-10: Alaska Chamber Community Outreach trip, Talkeetna 

June 23: Alaska Resource Education Coal Classic Golf Tournament 

June 30: Resource Development Council for Alaska’s Annual Membership Luncheon 

 

AKOG was a proud sponsor of several statewide cleanup events this month. Oil and gas employees and their families are part of our community, donating thousands of hours of volunteer time each year.  Thanks to the employees who helped keep Alaska beautiful again this year!

Sleeves up for Summer!
Let's get Alaska up and running by rolling up our sleeves and vaccinating this summer. The Department of Health and Social Services has many COVID-19 vaccination appointments available for individuals ages 12 and older.
