NMS
A subsidiary of NANA regional corporation is counting on an expert chef to have the right recipe to feed students throughout Alaska. NMS Food and Facilities Management promoted Scott Evers to the position of Director of Operations, Education.
Evers, originally from Eagle River, graduated from the California Culinary Academy in San Francisco. He has been with NMS since 2008, starting as an executive chef. He was promoted to general manager in 2011 and managed accounts that have seen tremendous growth and longevity, such as UAA. He navigated the acquisition of the Alaska Airlines Center in 2013 and the contract renewal for all UAA contracts in 2017.
Most recently, Evers has overseen many NMS accounts for K-12 schools, and he frequently travels throughout Alaska, supporting field managers. Evers has recently taken a larger role supporting NMS Airport Fleet Services, the First Americans Museum in Oklahoma, and Diné College in Arizona.
Evers is an American Culinary Federation certified executive chef. He has managed some of the finest kitchens in Anchorage and owned a catering company that supported movie productions and events like Arctic Man.

If you’re in the City of Whittier, you get busy. The city has two separate transportation planning efforts underway, including a safety action plan under the federal Safe Streets and Roads for All initiative, which focuses on improving safety for pedestrians, cyclists, motorists, and emergency responders. The second is Whittier Moves, the city’s transportation master plan, which serves as the long-term roadmap for growth.
