Conference of Young Alaskans (COYA) 2009

iiAdmin — Wed, 02 Jul 2008 23:33:20 +0000

Echoing the Constitutional Convention in 1956 and the first Conference of Young Alaskans (COYA) held in 2006, the 2009 conference included 55 delegates who addressed past, current, and future challenges and opportunities facing Alaska and her people. Momentum for the Conference was built through a multimedia-driven Forum of Young Alaskans held simultaneously in multiple communities around the state and an interactive project website.

Representing 26 communities, the COYA delegates deliberated on five topic areas: Economy, Government and Global Relations; Energy; Natural Resources and the Environment; Education and Leadership; and Healthy Communities. A number of COYA delegated presented their Conference report to the legislature.

Information Insights worked closely with the steering committee on all aspects of planning this event including venue selection, travel logistics for all delegates and speakers, shaping the Forum and the Conference, facilitation of the events, media coverage and publication of results.
