Julie Anderson, Department of Commerce, Community and Economic Development commissioner, will retire next month, Gov. Mike Dunleavy announced.
Anderson’s retirement will be effective Jan. 14, 2022. A replacement will be named at a later date, according to the governor’s office.
“Commissioner Anderson’s unwavering belief and vision for Alaska’s future has been an asset in my cabinet,” Dunleavy said in a news release announcing the retirement. “I am thankful for the hard work and passion she brought to her role and congratulate her on a well-earned retirement.”
Anderson was appointed as commissioner in November 2018, shortly after Dunleavy was elected governor.
“I want to thank Governor Dunleavy for the opportunity to serve in this position,” Anderson said in a news release. “It has been a privilege to work with this Administration in furtherance of strong, resilient communities and economic stability and growth to benefit Alaskans.”
