Unique Challenges & Opportunities:
Alaska has a small population but a large, underdeveloped geothermal resource. The state relies heavily on outside expertise, development, and investment. There is strong interest from individuals deeply committed to Alaska, many of whom will want to engage fully—even if not "founding members". - John C Eichelberger

Mission Statement:
Build a community of stakeholders to incentivize the development of geothermal resources in the State of Alaska
Goals:
* Foster communication and collaboration among industry, academia and state and federal entities interested in geothermal energy
* Share information regarding funding opportunities for geothermal energy
* Help projects find the help they need through broad networking.
* Gain visibility outside the state (and country), where most of the geothermal experts, corporations, and investors reside.
