The AWWU Board of Directors was established initially by municipal ordinance in September 2005, as the governing body of the Utility, empowered to operate and manage the Utility on behalf of the Municipality. A subsequent ordinance, AO 2011-24(S), revoked the Board’s management authority. In accordance with the 2011 ordinance, the Board continues to meet monthly to consider issues of substance for utility operation, making recommendations to the Mayor and Assembly regarding infrastructure asset management, utility finances, ratemaking, and other policy questions. The seven members of the AWWU Board are appointed by the Mayor and approved by the Anchorage Assembly. The board members serve staggered terms; the expiration date of each director’s term is listed with each portrait above.

Board meetings focus on Utility operations and highlights. Regular meetings are typically held the first Wednesday of each month at noon at the AWWU headquarters at 3000 Arctic Boulevard. Information on regular board meetings and committee meetings is posted on the calendar below. The public is welcome to attend.
