The Alaska State Commission for Human Rights is holding its next quarterly meeting in Sitka to coincide with the community’s Alaska Day events. The Commission invites the public to attend the meeting to listen and provide comment.

The meeting will take place on Monday, October 17, 2022, at the Raven Conference Room in the Aspen Suites Hotel at 1:00 pm, with public comment scheduled for 1:30 pm. The meeting will
be a hybrid of in-person attendance and video conferencing.

The following day, the Commission will set up an outreach booth in the lobby of the Aspen Suites Hotel in conjunction with the Alaska Day parade to conduct community outreach. There will be information on the Commission, guidance documents to assist businesses, and the opportunity to speak with Commissioners and staff directly about discrimination issues.

The Alaska State Commission for Human Rights is an independent quasi-judicial state agency that aims to eliminate discrimination and support Alaskans when they face discrimination in the
workplace, places of public accommodation, housing, credit and financing, and government practices. The Commission consists of seven volunteers who are appointed by the governor and
confirmed by the legislature for rotating five-year terms. The Commission consists of Chairperson Zackary Gottshall (Anchorage), Vice Chairperson Mae Marsh (Fairbanks), William Craig (Sitka), Rebecca Carrillo (Juneau), Jessie Ruffridge (Soldotna), and Lonzo Henderson (Anchorage). The seventh seat is currently vacant.
