Super huge congratulations to our major Chamber sponsor KTKN, KFMJ The Rock, and the entire KINY family who make up Alaska First Media. JUNEAU CITIZENS OF THE YEAR FROM THE JUNEAU CHAMBER!
Here's what they had to say: "Lisa and I want to express our sincere thanks to the Juneau Chamber of Commerce for recognizing us as Citizens of the Year. We were genuinely touched by this honor.
While our names may be on the award, we see it as a reflection of the people we’re fortunate enough to work alongside every day.
Our Alaska First Media teams in Juneau, Ketchikan and Sitka are an extraordinary group of people who care about their communities, their listeners and the work they do. They’re the ones who show up every day, keep our radio stations connected to the communities they serve and make us proud to be part of it all.
We especially want to recognize Angel Montgomery, Charlee Quintal, Grace Dumas, Steven Allwine, Devon Stickler, Jason Palmer, Mike Clasby, Justin Miller, Scott Mills, Chuck Geiger, Dan (Dano) Ondrejka, Tori Peck, Conner Lendrum, Krystal Rose, Kevin Allen, Lance Mitchell, Kelly Peres, Brittany Rickard, Mason Hightower, Garrett Leighton, Julie Lekwauwa, Ted Ellis, Pratik Patel, AJ, Alfred Zagloul, Wade Bryson, Nano Brooks, Tracy Brown and Russell Wodehouse, along with everyone else who contributes to our stations across Southeast Alaska.
We’re proud of the work being done across our Juneau stations, KINY, Mix 106, TAKU 105, KXJ, The Hawk and KJNO, as well as our stations serving Ketchikan and Sitka.
We’re also grateful for the local businesses, community organizations, friends and listeners who have welcomed us and supported what we’re trying to build.
Juneau is home. We’re proud to be part of this community, grateful for the friendships and relationships we’ve built here, and fortunate to have the opportunity to help ensure these radio stations continue serving Southeast Alaska for generations to come.
Thank you again to the Juneau Chamber of Commerce for this very kind recognition. We share it with a lot of good people."
Cliff and Lisa Dumas
