What Your Membership Includes

Monthly Newsletter

Regulatory updates, compliance alerts, urgent notices, and association news delivered to your inbox monthly — and within 24–48 hours when something urgent changes.

Education Library

Access all education modules 7 days before public release. Free registration for all live webinars. Topics cover regulations, taxes, hosting best practices, and policy engagement.

Member Portal & Forum

Discussion board organized by topic and region, resource library, and regional forums. Connect with hosts navigating the same compliance challenges you are.

Regulatory Guides

Plain-language guidance on registration requirements, tax obligations, insurance requirements, and platform compliance rules — organized by municipality and updated when rules change.

Regional Representation

Direct connection to a Steering Committee member in your region. Regional Councils meet monthly and bring local intelligence directly to the governing board.

A Seat at the Table

Your membership funds public education presentations to government bodies, op-eds in Alaska media, and host data that policymakers can no longer ignore.

The Practical Case

As Alaska municipalities and the State Legislature continue to consider short-term rental policy, an organized statewide voice for hosts helps ensure those conversations include accurate host data and real-world experience.

Membership funds the organization's operating budget: regulatory tracking, research, regional council coordination, and statewide communications.
