We are privileged to introduce the world to Ashley Jean Smith (sitting), Briley Loncar (left), Katelyn Smith, and Megan Smith (right): four young women who are mere years away from taking Alaska’s business community by storm. All four young women participate in Junior Achievement, a program that educates and trains young people in business and the value of free enterprise.
On January 24, Alaska Business is proud to once again partner with Junior Achievement of Alaska to present the Alaska Business Hall of Fame, which celebrates business in the Last Frontier and honors individuals who have been building businesses—and communities—in Alaska for decades.
Thank you Dr. Lilian Van Lith at Providence Health Center, Crystal Frost at Alaska Central Express, and Women in Aviation Alaska for providing the uniforms seen on the cover. Cover photo: © Matt Waliszek
