"EXPORT ALASKA" EVENT
The World Trade Center held its 20th Annual Export Alaska Luncheon at the Egan Civic & Convention Center in Anchorage today. Over 400 attended, including consuls or their representatives from Japan, Australia, Great Britain, and Canada. Next to me at my table was the Consulate General of India, the Honorable B.S. Prakash.
Lt. Governor Sean Parnell presented the Governor’s Exporter of the Year Awards. US Senator Lisa Murkowski gave the keynote speech, entitled "Reducing Future Energy Costs: One Key to a Vibrant Export Future for Alaska." She stressed the relationship between energy costs, and every facet of economic development in Alaska and the entire nation. It used to be that industry moved to states with cheap labor, but today industry moves to places with less expensive energy. Good point, well presented.
