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

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.
