Alaska Village Initiatives is a non-profit, membership based company, dedicated to improving the well-being of rural Alaska communities, families and individuals by embracing their cultural values and strengthening their self reliance through training, assistance, advocacy and economic development.
For the past twenty five years Alaska Village Initiatives has sponsored the Rural Small Business Conference. The purpose of this Conference is to bring together rural businesses and leaders and provide them with networking opportunities, training and technical information. A focal point of the Conference is the Marketplace Trade-show, which is an excellent opportunity for participants to meet exhibitors and see their showcase of products and services.
