Wise held its Board of Directors elections. Up for Board renewal were Dave Wellman and Mark Somerville, who ran unopposed and were reelected. Up for consideration for new Board members were Patty Christian and Tim Sundlov. Both Patty and Tim are relatives newcomers to the Copper Basin and won election to the Board.
Patty comes to us from the Coldfoot, AK where her husband was a ranger for the National Park Service. Patty worked in interpretation and was the manager at the visitor center at Kotzebue. Patty has a love for education and brings to WISE many skills including grant writing. Tim Sundlov is the new fisheries biologist with the Bureau of Land Management, in Glennallen. Tim has teaching skills, and loves to get kids out to go fishing and learning about fish and aquatic biology.
