Join The Alliance!

We are a diverse group of individuals and organizations working together to build community wellness across Alaska. We recognize the negative impacts of alcohol use and are committed to working together to address this complex issue.
https://alaska-alliance.org/

We've got some great meetings lined up this month, starting this morning with an Evaluation Learning Session!

Topic: How to Synthesize Large Amounts of Data
April 2 | 9:30 AM – 11:00 AM

Join us for a focused learning session on how to synthesize large amounts of data. We’ll explore practical strategies for organizing, distilling, and making sense of complex or abundant information so it can be used effectively for decision-making, storytelling, and reporting. Whether you’re working with community data, survey results, or multiple data sources, this session will offer tools to help turn information into clear, actionable insights.

Contact Tesia Bobrycki (tbobrycki@recoveralaska.org) for the meeting invite. If you can't make it, stay tuned for a meeting recap. We'll also provide the video recording later this month.

We hope you can join us!
