The CIRI Foundation (TCF) is recruiting candidates for its 15-member board of director candidate pool. TCF encourages qualified and professional CIRI shareholders and their direct lineal descendants to apply.

Directors are responsible for determining the organizational direction and policies that further TCF’s organizational goal, which is to promote individual self-development and economic self-sufficiency through education. The TCF Board meets approximately four times a year, usually in Anchorage. All directors are appointed to three-year terms.
The TCF Board also appoints members to the Executive, Finance and Endowment, Education Awards, and Development Committees. Interested board pool candidates should apply in writing by sending their current resume, letter of interest and two letters of reference to The CIRI Foundation, Attn: Development Committee, 3600 San Jeronimo Drive, Suite 256, Anchorage, Alaska 99508.
All Board applicant pool resumes will be kept on file for a year from the date of submission.
