The Alaska chapter of Americans for Prosperity is gearing up for part two of its three-part education summit. Led by state director Bernadette Wilson, the aim is to equip Alaskans with the tools, tactics, techniques and strategies to organize local communities, influence lawmakers and effectively communicate in order to advance freedom and opportunity.

Part one occurred earlier this month. There is not cost to attend the all-day event on March 5, but attendees must RSVP by March 1. Part three will take place on March 12.

According to Americans for Prosperity’s mission statement it utilizes grassroots outreach to drive long-term solutions to the nation’s biggest problems. This is accomplished by engaging friends and neighbors on key issues and encouraging them to actively build a culture of “mutual benefit, where people succeed by helping one another.”

The national organization recruits concerned citizens across 35 states to advance public policy.

The upcoming Anchorage training session takes place at Hotel Captain Cook.

The schedule is as follows:

— 9 a.m. – Breakfast (Optional)
