Arctic Directory: ASRC, Institute of the North announce partnership

The Arctic Slope Regional Corp. and the Institute of the North recently agreed to a strategic partnership addressing Arctic policy and infrastructure issues. In addition to a financial contribution to the Institute of the North, Teresa Imm, vice president of resources at ASRC, will join the Institute of the North board of directors.

ASRC joins Shell Alaska and the University of Alaska Fairbanks as Strategic Partners. “We believe that the Institute of the North brings attention and direction to Alaska’s Arctic, convening critical conversations about issues that are at the heart of what we’re doing at ASRC,” said Imm. “I’m excited to join a wonderful team who share our vision of responsible resource development, balanced against vibrant cultures and a sensitive environment.”

The Institute of the North and UAF have signed an MOA outlining a collaborative framework that aligns the university’s current and future Arctic programs and projects, utilizes the institute’s role as a convener, builds UAF’s academic, research, and public service capacities, and leverages financial resources from both entities.

Institute of the North Strategic Partners believe in the Institute of the North’s mission and goals, and support the Institute with a financial contribution of $25,000 or more. For more information visit www.institutenorth.org.
