AMA Board Chair Lorali Simon and I had the incredible opportunity to attend the Inauguration in Washington, D.C. and associated events. I have to say, being in D.C. during the transition of a president is probably something I would never venture out on my own to do, but we were blessed to be hosted by Rich and Heather Nolan (Rich is the CEO of National Mining Association). We attended events where we saw our Alaska friends and the Ohio Inaugural Ball, and then watched the Capitol as our administration changed. Walking around the city, it was abuzz with energy and optimism. There was real work too, meetings with our delegation including newly sworn in Congressman Nick Begich and his staff, and Congressman Stauber from Minnesota, as well as U.S. Sen. Lisa Murkowski (above). I left with a to-do list as long as my arm, but for so many good reasons! — AMA Executive Director Deantha Skibinski
