What a great opportunity for Seldovians! A free workshop for business owners and marketers will be hosted in the Seldovia Conference Center at the ATC Building. This is a fantastic chance to get great insight into marketing and promoting your business or service from those who know!

Bill: Made in Alaska is a State of Alaska program, www.madeinalaska.org established in law and funded by the Department of Commerce. Our annual budget is $108,000.

One is always in Anchorage and the other four in different Alaska cities.

Gazette: Will you be the one here in Seldovia teaching the class?

Bill: Presenters in Seldovia this year will be Bill Webb and Dana Reese. Bill is president of Webb’s Consulting & Management Services, Inc. as well as Program Continue Reading

Since our family moved to Seldovia twelve years ago, we have seen 6 principals in our school! We realize that Seldovia has always been a small school and the testing ground or beginning stop for some. Our hope as parents has been to find the individual who wants to make Seldovia their home, our community and our students a long-term part of their life! It is a trick, as most experienced administrators are “moving up” in the career, to bigger schools, larger staff, etc.
