In the lead-up to its annual Alaska Business Summit, the Alaska Chamber has announced the recipients of its 2024 Premier Business Awards. The awards honor a workforce development leader, a seafood industry titan, a local chamber of commerce going above and beyond, and two individuals who’ve made notable statewide contributions.
The Ted Stevens Public Service Award, established in 2018, honors an individual or group who have made substantial and continual contributions of statewide significance while working in public service.
This year, it goes to AHHA's Senior Vice President Jeannie Monk. In her fourteen years at AHHA, Jeannie has achieved significant policy victories that have benefited Alaska’s most vulnerable residents. She secured millions of dollars to ensure Alaska facilities can deliver the highest quality of care and has been key in spearheading initiatives to strengthen the state’s healthcare workforce. She has also worked to support birthing hospitals and obstetric teams to improve maternity care and bolster quality and patient safety, with a focus on rural communities. Prior to working at AHHA, Jeannie served as the planning and development director for Southeast Alaska Regional Health Consortium and was instrumental in obtaining funds to improve the health of communities throughout Southeast.
Jeannie and the other awardees will be celebrated at the Alaska Business Summit on October 9 in Fairbanks. Congratulations!
