OUR STORY

Ice Skating Associations form ACSFA

In August 2020 the following Skating Associations helped form a new non profit organization with the purpose of taking over management of the Municipal owned ice rinks. The purpose was to have the main users of the ice arenas take over responsibility for management, planning and community engagement.

Our organization started to reach out to the municipality's administration (MOA) and assembly members to transfer these responsibilities similarly to how the transfer of management of the Anchorage Museum to the newly created not-for-profit that was created.  The MOA entered into a agreement with the Anchorage Museum Association in 2005, which took over management of the Anchorage Museum of History and Art (No. AO 2005-137S)

​

Purpose: 

ACSFA’s purpose is to provide to the MOA a community managed nonprofit organization to promote and operate certain MOA athletic facilities.

Mission: 

ACSFA’s mission is to maximize public access to safe, clean, and modern athletic and ice skating facilities, at the least cost, without discriminating against any individual or user group (i.e. gender, economic status, skill level, age, ethnicity, etc.).
