Alaska Community Foundation

Meet the four new voices guiding our next chapter at the Alaska Community Foundation. Leaders whose roots run deep in Alaska and whose vision reaches far.

Dr. Pearl K. Brower, President & CEO, Ukpeaġvik Iñupiat Corporation — a PhD in Indigenous Leadership and former president of Alaska's only tribal college, Pearl has devoted her career to advancing Alaska Native success, building institutional strength, and investing in communities for generations to come.

Victor Joseph, COO, Tanana Chiefs Conference — a longtime health and tribal leader guided by a simple, powerful belief: that healthy people become empowered people. For two decades, Victor has shown up for interior Alaska communities — from village health clinics all the way to the U.S. Senate.

Lisa Parker, President, Parker Horn Company — a lifelong Alaskan, Alaska Women's Hall of Fame inductee, and someone who has spent decades rolling up her sleeves for this state. From resource development to civic leadership, Lisa knows how to turn commitment into lasting impact.

Rita De La Torre, CPA & Director, Swalling & Associates, PC — with 35+ years serving Alaska businesses and Native corporations, Rita brings the kind of careful, principled stewardship that ensures every dollar entrusted to this work is honored — today and for generations to come.

Welcome, Pearl, Victor, Lisa, and Rita. We're honored to have you. 💙
