New External Affairs Director for Alaska Chamber
The Alaska Chamber has a new Director of External Affairs. Kari Nore, most recently a project manager for the Resource Development Council of Alaska (RDC), is taking on responsibility for the statewide chamber of commerce’s communications and advocacy efforts.
Born and raised in North Pole, Nore holds a bachelor’s degree in political science with a double minor in French and psychology from Gonzaga University in Spokane, Washington. Prior to working at RDC, Nore spent six years working in the Alaska Legislature, advancing her career from scheduler to a senior staff position in the Senate President’s office.
“Kari in an excellent addition to the Chamber team,” says Kati Capozzi, Alaska Chamber president and CEO. “Her years of experience in business association work and politics makes her uniquely qualified for this position. Her work ethic is legendary, and we are confident she will bring real value to our members.”

The second is Whittier Moves, the city’s transportation master plan, which serves as the long-term roadmap for growth.
