RAFFLE DRAWING & THANK YOU

1:30 ADJOURN

Anchorage ATHENA Society Class of 2010

Linda was born and raised in Maine and learned the love of fly fishing from her dad at a young age. Linda was a partner in Carlile Transportation before she started FisheWear in 2015. Creating a startup in the outdoor industry came from a desire to create clothing and gear that women would love, that is fun and gives them confidence to enjoy the outdoors! Linda then purchased Women’s Fly Fishing in 2018 to add education and guided trips to her clothing and gear line.

Dr. Anne Zink

Emergency Medicine Physician

Mat-Su Regional Medical Center

Dr. Zink is an emergency medicine physician in Palmer, Alaska, a Senior Fellow at the Yale School of Public Health, and co-founder of PopHIVE.org—a nimble platform built at Yale that integrates deidentified health data to strengthen trust, improve situational awareness, and make actionable insights available to the people who need them most. At Yale, Dr. Zink serves on national committees focused on rebuilding trust in public health and is deeply engaged as an educator and mentor, helping develop the next generation of leaders prepared to navigate real-world complexity.

Dr. Zink previously served as Alaska’s Chief Medical Officer from 2019–2024, leading the state through the COVID-19 pandemic and driving reforms to make government work better for people. Her work included restructuring the health department, strengthening mental and behavioral health systems, advancing chronic disease initiatives, and—most importantly—regularly listening to communities and creating space for honest, robust dialogue.

A practicing emergency physician, she often says that “the emergency department is where all good public policy comes to fail.” To care for her patients, Dr. Zink realized she also had to care for the policies shaping their lives—patients are her why, policy is her how. This human-centered approach underpins her work to braid healthcare and public health, shift systems toward prevention, and creates data and decision-making structures that truly serve people.

Nationally, Dr. Zink advises the Vaccine Integrity Project, The Gov Act, the Brown STAT Network, and the Echo Network. She also serves on the board of directors for Science to People, and she previously served as a senior advisor to The Pew Charitable Trusts. She trained at Bryn Mawr College (BA) and Stanford University (MD) with her Residency in Utah. Dr. Zink is originally from Denver, Colorado, is a former National Outdoor Leadership School instructor and Watson Fellow.

Before immigrating to Alaska, Evelyn began her career as a high school teacher in the Philippines. She earned a Master of Science in Counseling Psychology from Alaska Pacific University and built her career as a Licensed Professional Counselor and Investigations Director for the Alaska Human Rights Commission. A respected leader and lifetime member of the Filipino Community of Anchorage organization, Evelyn also serves on the Alaska Public Media Board and the Alaska Eating Disorders Alliance board and as a Family & Friends Support Group facilitator. Evelyn was recently confirmed as Philippine Honorary Consul for Alaska under the Philippine Consulate General in San Francisco. In this role, she provides consular assistance and promotes trade and investment between Alaska and the Philippines. Her motto: “With love, patience, and perseverance, nothing is impossible.”

Jessica is Executive Vice President, Chief Risk Officer, and Chief Legal Officer of Global Credit Union, a $13 billion institution serving members across five states and Italy. A seasoned C-suite executive, she leads enterprise risk, legal, compliance, corporate strategy, technology, and government affairs. Throughout her career, Jessica has established legal departments, guided complex transactions, strengthened corporate governance systems, and led organizations through transformational growth. She held senior leadership roles with two Alaska Native corporations overseeing legal, compliance, risk, human resources, and information technology functions. Jessica serves as Vice Chair of the Alaska Community Foundation and is a past president of the Alaska Bar Association. She served on the board of the Girl Scouts of Alaska and the Anchorage Association of Women Lawyers. She is a graduate of the Duke University School of Law. She and her husband, Jason, are proud parents of three amazing children—Jada, Jolie, and Jersey.

Dana served the Alaska Court System as a judge and justice for 28 years. She was appointed Chief Public Defender for Alaska and served until she was appointed to the Anchorage Superior Court in 1988. In 1996, she was appointed to the Alaska Supreme Court, becoming its first woman justice. She was later elected by her colleagues to three terms as Chief Justice, the second justice in the court’s history to serve three terms in that role. After retiring from the court, she established a mediation practice focused on complex civil disputes. As past president of the National Association of Women Judges, Dana founded two signature outreach programs: Success Inside and Out, a reentry program for incarcerated women; and MentorJet, a speed mentoring program connecting students with judges and lawyers. Throughout her career, she has mentored many students and attorneys, with a focus on opening pathways to the legal profession and to the bench.

Alaska Small Business Development Center

During her career, Gretchen has served Alaska across public and private sectors, including roles with the University of Alaska Center for Economic Development, the State of Alaska’s Division of Economic Development, U.S. Senator Lisa Murkowski’s office, and now as Director of Special Programs and Strategy at UAA’s Alaska SBDC. Over the years, Gretchen organized statewide summits, launched impactful programs, and designed systems that reduce barriers for entrepreneurs. She is pursuing a graduate degree at UAF and researching Arctic entrepreneurship. Her leadership has earned multiple Awards of Excellence in economic development, and she was named an Alaska Journal of Commerce Top Forty Under 40. Gretchen chaired the Anchorage Downtown Partnership, Launch Alaska, and the Library Advisory Boards. Through it all, she works to expand opportunity for women and believes “we are stronger than the sum of our parts”, while embodying “Freudenfreud,” the joy found in another person’s success.

At 28 years old, she co-founded The Boardroom, Alaska’s first co-working space, growing it into a home for hundreds of entrepreneurs and small businesses. She co-founded Launch Alaska, a nationally recognized energy innovation accelerator, and spent three years as Entrepreneur-in-Residence at the University of Alaska, mentoring more than 100 founders, the majority of them women. For more than a decade Katherine has poured equal energy into her work and her community, mentoring young entrepreneurs, leading nonprofit and civic organizations, launching economic development initiatives, and supporting policies and people that help Alaska grow and thrive. Most recently, she was elected to the Chugach Electric Association Board of Directors. Katherine is a Leadership Anchorage alumna, a Top Forty Under 40 honoree, and holds a Masters of Public Administration from UAA, and a BA from the University of Washington.

As one of the eight children of Yule and Ruth Kilcher, Catkin grew up in a log cabin on the Kilcher Homestead, imbued with the values of teamwork, self-sufficiency and stewardship. She joined the Marines and served for 31 years of active duty in various command and leadership roles in logistics, finance and strategic resource planning, retiring as a Colonel. In 2009, Catkin returned home to Alaska and cofounded Eagles’ Enterprises, LLC, a consulting and real estate company. She served as board chair of the Alaska Humanities Forum, appointed by Alaska Gov. Sean Parnell. She serves as the President, Captain Cook Chapter Military Officers of America and Pioneer & Veterans Base Camp; Alaskan Command Civilian Advisory Board member; and Trustee, Kilcher Homestead Trust.

Alexandra is President and CEO of The Alaska Community Foundation, leading one of the state’s largest philanthropic institutions in partnership with communities across Alaska. A lifelong Alaskan and graduate of East Anchorage High School, Alexandra brings more than 30 years of experience supporting children, families, and communities. She often jokes that growing up in Alaska teaches you resilience early—if you can handle winter, you can handle just about anything. That steady optimism has shaped a career grounded in the belief that the strongest solutions are led by those closest to the challenges. After national leadership roles at Casey Family Programs, Alexandra returned home to focus on community-informed philanthropy. Her work has advanced fairness and accountability, strengthened arts and culture, and mobilized resources in times of crisis. Known for her collaborative style, she leads by asking thoughtful questions, sharing responsibility, and reminds her team that good ideas can come from anywhere—even over coffee.

Born and raised in Anchorage, Michele spent summers in Talkeetna and on family adventures around Alaska, developing a deep appreciation for Alaska’s landscapes and the communities that shape them. She earned her degree in Journalism and Public Communications from UAA, a foundation that strengthened her commitment to communication, connection, and service. Michele started at Kaladi 25 years ago as a barista, seeing firsthand how a simple cup of coffee can bring people together. Today, as president, she leads with kindness and a steadfast commitment to community. Beyond her professional and community roles, Michele is wholeheartedly devoted to her family. She and her husband share a blended family of six, and her dedication to family mirrors the compassion and steadiness she brings to her work and community. Whether she’s supporting her team, strengthening local partnerships, or rallying behind her kids, Michele brings warmth and a genuine love for people to everything she does.

Kikkan is an Olympic Champion and five-time Olympian in cross-country skiing; a World Champion; and was a trailblazer for the U.S. Ski Team. She says her most important role is as a mom—the wellspring of her strength, kindness, and resilience— qualities she brings to leadership, mentorship, and community outreach. In her fifth season as executive director of the Nordic Skiing Association of Anchorage, Kikkan champions healthy living and the growth of cross-country skiing with mom-powered energy, optimism, and a focus on family and community. She also serves on the US Ski & Snowboard Board of Directors and is a former member of the International Olympic Committee. A cancer survivor, Kikkan rounds out her work as a sports commentator and motivational speaker, sharing stories of perseverance, collaboration, and empowerment.
