urtiss Clifton, pictured fourth from right, works with some smart folks. As Alaska director for U.S. Academic Decathlon, he helps high school teams demonstrate their academic mastery in competition. He also knows that when it comes to hosting meetings, Anchorage makes the grade, with high marks for amenities, convention centers and visitor satisfaction. Clifton explained Anchorage’s appeals, and made the case to host an upcoming student competition. As a result of his efforts, the United States Academic Decathlon National Competition is coming to our city for the third time.
