Deepening Support and Commitment

COMMUNITY PROGRAMS Focus on Community

Deepening Support and Commitment to Our People

CVRF has been serving its communities in Western Alaska for thirty years, but few have been as transformative as the last two. Amid the turmoil of a global pandemic and national crises, we made the decision to deepen our support of and commitment to our people, making their health and well-being a focal point for everything we do. That’s why we invested in our regional affairs team, bringing on new team members and providing additional resources so that our staff in the department can better serve residents of all 20 of our communities.

One of the first things we did was hire OSCAR EVON as our new Director of Regional Affairs. Born and raised in Kwigillingok, he knows from personal experience what our communities need and the challenges residents face when living in remote communities. Years ago, Oscar worked with us as the Kwigillingok representative on our Board of Directors, where he served as a voice for his people.

Oscar now leads a team of dedicated professionals who are passionate about serving as good stewards of local resources and delivering benefits to our residents. A year into the position, he sees his role as a perfect opportunity to ensure CVRF is supporting its communities effectively. We look forward to continuing to work with Oscar and his team to find better ways to serve our communities and support their ongoing development.

I’m proud of the work we do at CVRF and the positive impact we have on our region. We have an incredible opportunity to change lives for the better.
