Q1. Why is it important for you to support ALSC?
ALSC provides expert and effective legal representation to people and communities that would otherwise be lost in the maze of a complex legal system.
Q2. Which ALSC service or program stands out to you?
ALSC’s presence in rural Alaska, where it is often the only provider of legal services. The cost to provide these services in such areas is prohibitively expensive for the private bar.
Q3. Besides ALSC, which other causes or organizations are important to you?
We support and are involved with Native American rights organizations, environmental justice and civil rights groups, Alaska conservation organizations, and Doctors Without Borders, among many others.
Q4. What activities do you participate in during your free time?
In addition to being enthusiastic hikers, we continue to travel to faraway places to immerse ourselves in other cultures and traditions.
