APICDA is a 501 (c) (3) non-profit corporation incorporated in the State of Alaska. Our charitable purpose is to develop stable local economies in our member communities. Click here to see APICDA’s Vision and Goals and Objectives.
APICDA’s membership is composed of the fishermen’s associations from each community. Any resident of an APICDA community is eligible to join the local fishermen’s association. On a rotating two year schedule, the membership of each fishermen’s association elects an individual to serve as a member of the APICDA foundation. The foundation members then elect themselves to serve as members of the APICDA Board of Directors. The eligibility requirements to be elected to the APICDA foundation are that the individual must have been a member of the local fishermen’s association for at least one year and must physically reside in the community for at least eight months of each calendar year.
