Who are the ARLIS Founders?

Agencies may become founding agencies by making a commitment for on-going support of ARLIS at a significant level. Founding agencies have representation on the ARLIS Founders Board which governs the library.
Founders are employees of the founding agencies in Alaska.
Founding partners are:
