Keeping you in tune to Our Community.

As the CEO of YWCA Alaska, Jessie Lavoie spoke about the organization's upcoming 36th Annual Women of Achievement Awards Luncheon, highlighting the event's purpose and the successes of the 2025 honorees.

Kelly grew up in the Midwest among farms and fertile soils. Outfitted with a B.A. in Communications and a minor in Film Studies, she moved to Nome, Alaska to work for a community-driven, nonprofit radio station. There she became versed in local radio, holding a range of jobs from Program and Music Director to producer and on-air host. Every day she’s in awe of the connection and companionship only local radio provides. When not working, Kelly and her spouse happily spend their time traveling, appreciating the true wild, and creating artsy things.
