The Alaska Miner Spring 2024 28 Juneau Chairman Jason Hart I have been a Contract Administrator for Hecla Greens Creek Mining Company for the last eight years and have been with the company in different roles since 2007. Responsible for contracts for services, equipment, and infrastructure. I have been on the AMA board as a Director for Juneau since 2016. Helping people understand the positives of responsible mining is a big individual goal. I have a son Liam who is currently a sophomore at Thunder Mountain High School in Juneau. Outside of work I enjoy traveling to somewhere warmer than Juneau in the winter. I’ve coached youth baseball since 2009 from Little League, Travel Ball, and currently an assistant coach for Thunder Mountain High School Baseball. I also spend time during the fishing season teaching fellow Juneau AMA board member Jesse Walker all the tips and tricks of king salmon fishing. Jim Clark Jim Clark grew up in a military family.

Kyle Beebe With almost 27 years in the mining industry, I've journeyed from working in Nevada's Jerritt Canyon to managerial roles in Alaska, including a rich 13-year chapter with Barrick's Meikle, Rodeo and Betze-Post mines, followed by a transformative 13 years with Kensington, owned by Coeur Alaska throughout Technical Services, Operations, and Management roles. I'm currently embracing my next milestone as the Technical Services Manager at Hecla's Greens Creek Mine. Outside work, I find balance in life’s little adventures, from metal and woodworking projects, construction, and tinkering to joyful explorations in reading, computers, and nature amidst Alaska's unique outdoors with my family between bouts of “liquid sunshine.” Frank Bergstrom BS Geology University of Washington.

I have worked for Alaska Marine Lines (Lynden Inc.) for 14 years, which is what brought me to Juneau. I joined the AMA board just this year, and look forward to being more involved in years to come. My husband is a lifelong Alaskan, as is my 18-year-old step daughter who will graduate in May and attend UAS this fall. In my free time you will find me with my family fishing on our boat, walking our two huskies or working on our offgrid cabin in Gustavus that we have built from the ground up.
