End notes
September 2025 Meetings
The September meetings will take place in Anchorage, Alaska from September 7-9, 2025. We will be staying at The Hotel Captain Cook. Given the long travel time for most attendees, Bobby suggests that board members consider flying to Anchorage on Friday, September 5.
Tentative Meetings Schedule:
▶ Sunday, September 7 – Grant Program Committee, Executive & Finance Committee, and Compensation Committee will meet, followed by the large group reception and dinner in the evening.
▶ Monday, September 8 – We will visit ANSEP in the morning. Audit & Risk Committee and Governance & Nominating Committee meetings will follow the site visit. We plan to have our JSF dinner on Monday evening.
▶ Tuesday, September 9 – The Board of Directors’ meeting will occur in the morning.
Alaska Pacific University (APU) knows about our planned visit and is interested in hosting us, also. We are considering an optional site visit to APU on Saturday, September 6 in the afternoon, as it may be more convenient for attendees than staying extra days post-meetings. This visit is not yet finalized, but very likely.
Lisa is handling all of the physical logistics, including hotel reservations. Please use this link or scan the QR code to share your important travel information with us to better assist in planning.
Spring 2026 Meetings
A request has been made to change the dates of the Spring 2026 meetings. Please see Bobby’s memo attached. He will be polling for responses at the end of the month.
Bios and head shots on the website
As part of our work updating publications, we are looking to update the JSF board/staff page on our website. Please take a moment to review your current bio and headshot. If any updates are needed, whether to your photo, education, affiliations, or other details, please let Lisa know by May 15. Thank you for your time and help in keeping your information current.
BSE Design
After more than 12 years of working with JSF on virtually all of our publications, this is the final Monthly Report being processed by BSE Design and Communications. Sue Liss wrote: ”After 41 years in business BSE Design and Communications have decided to retire. It has been a pleasure to work with the Foundation for the past 12 years and we wish the Foundation success in the future.” Sue and Chele are looking forward to having the freedom to travel at will. We wish them the very best and thank them for their years of work for JSF.
