Thank you
for visiting our Web site on Skagway, Alaska. We receive letters and
calls from many people asking about the community, its residents, the
economic situation, schools and employment opportunities. In an effort
to answer some of the most frequently asked questions, we have produced
a general information page,
RESTRUCTURING OF THE CHAMBER Due to increased expenses and decreased revenue, the Skagway Chamber of Commerce is having difficulty sustaining wages for an office manager position. Our revenue is generated from the annual ducky derby ticket sales, donations and membership dues. Economic difficulty has contributed to decreased memberships and donations. In an effort to save money, the Chamber will soon be functioning on volunteer power alone for regular functions such as checking email, voicemail, and following up on those inquiries. In addition, volunteers will be solely responsible for putting on the following annual events such as Clean Sweep, Spring Stroll, 4th of July Parade and event coordination, Shop in Skagway and more. The Chamber has functioned successfully like this in years past. The Skagway Development Corporation will share our building space to alleviate our rent expense. We encourage your continued membership support and we welcome any time you can donate for events or regular office duties. The Skagway Chamber of Commerce Directors are confident that with time to research revenue generating ideas, support from other organizations and our membership and continued cuts in our expenses, we will eventually be able to sustain a part-time office manager to provide a more structured service to our members. Thank you for your continued support.
