Annual Meeting - May 5, 2022 Virtual Annual Meeting

The 2022 Annual Meeting was once again held virtually. We took what we learned from our first two virtual meetings and (nearly) perfected it! The meeting was livestreamed on YouTube from the GVEA Board Room, GVEA’s IT team and Jonathan Huff of Alaska Universal Productions assisted in planning and broadcasting the event. Over 582 members viewed the meeting live and over 670 members watched the recording.

The 2023 Annual Meeting Committee is working on this year’s event, which will be back in person at the Hering Auditorium with an option for members to attend virtually. There will also be an inperson member appreciation event prior to the Annual Meeting this year. The 2023 Annual Meeting is scheduled for April 27.
