1. Becky currently serves as the President and CEO of the Alaska State Hospital and Nursing Home Association, a position she’s held since 2014.

2. Becky has served in several high-profile roles in Alaska state government. She was the Commissioner of the Department of Administration. Before that, she was the press secretary for the governor.

3. Becky emerged as the choice of the 15-member Board of Trustees after a national search and a rigorous selection process.
