Alaska Legal Services Corporation Welcomes New Executive Director

Alaska Legal Services Corporation announces Maggie Humm as new Executive Director.

ANCHORAGE, ALASKA — Alaska Legal Services Corporation (ALSC) welcomes Maggie Humm as Executive Director. Maggie began her tenure as executive director with the organization on April 22.

 “After an extensive, six-month national search, the Board of Directors unanimously determined Maggie was the best and most qualified candidate to serve as our new ED. We are excited about the future of ALSC under her leadership, and to continue ALSC’s tradition of cultivating leadership development within the organization” said ALSC Board Chair, Joe Nelson.

Maggie Humm has provided dedicated service to ALSC for nearly 21 years, including in the roles of intern, Staff Attorney, Supervising Attorney, Deputy Director, and, most recently, interim Executive Director.  During this time, she has proven herself as a tireless advocate for victims of violence and sexual assault and underserved families and youth, as well as a collaborative leader who has worked alongside Alaska’s indigenous tribes and nonprofit organizations in major cases and negotiations to increase access to justice across the state.

“ALSC has an incredibly dedicated staff that provides critical civil legal services to thousands of Alaskans each year,” Humm said. “I’m honored to be chosen as the next person to lead this wonderful organization and I look forward to working with our staff, board of directors and community partners to deliver high-quality and innovative legal services to communities throughout Alaska. Alaska faces an enormous justice gap with low-income individuals and families facing countless civil legal problems that they are not able to get assistance with; ALSC plays a key role in resolving this issue and I am excited to work with so many talented individuals who are working hard to address this crisis.
