Secretariat
Main Secretariat
The Secretariat of the Northern Forum is located in Anchorage, Alaska, in the Alaska Legislature building, 716 W 4th Avenue. The small international office performs a number of duties, including:
- gathering and providing information to member regions and members;
- assisting in communications among regions;
- translating documents as needed for Northern Forum operations;
- coordinating international meetings; and
- developing and securing funding for cooperative projects among member regions.
The Secretariat is headed by an Executive Director, who serves as President of the Northern Forum, Inc. and is chosen by the Board of Governors. Secretariat staff includes administrative, public relations and project management specialists, as well as Regional Representatives from member regions (currently the Sakha Republic). Plans call for stationing representatives from other member regions at the Secretariat on a rotating basis, and for representation from each geographical region of the Forum.
One of the Secretariat's primary functions is to organize Northern Forum meetings. Working closely with the Regional Coordinators, the Northern Forum Secretariat implements meeting plans and helps members address issues of concern as well as opportunities.
The Secretariat maintains an extensive communications system and uses the Internet to communicate with members via e-mail. The Forum's Internet web site is informative, well designed and has become popular with an international readership. The members have access to a special area in the web site to view internal documents and information.
