As we observe the anniversary of the creation of the Alaska Permanent Fund Corporation this month, it is noteworthy to laud the vision and leadership of the past, and imperative in my opinion to look forward – to bring that same extraordinary vision, leadership, and forethought to the now, the near, and the far.
It is now time for us to envision what we want for our State, our communities, our children, our grandchildren, and their children – generations of Alaskans. The legacy that we have in the Alaska Permanent Fund – was once just that – a vision. Each of us can ensure that legacy continues for another 45 years and beyond.
