Structure & Elected Seats
GBOS is comprised of five elected supervisors: Seat A (Jennifer Wingard, Co-Chair - Land Use, Zoning & Permits, LUC liaison), Seat B (Brian Burnett - Parks & Recreation & Girdwood Cemetery), Seat C (Kellie Okonek - Public Safety, Roads, & Utilities), Seat D (Mike Edgington, Co-Chair - Housing, Economic Stability, & Long-Range Planning), and Seat E (Briana Sullivan - Fire Department & EMS Operations). Administrative support is managed by Margaret Tyler (Girdwood Administrative Officer, contact 907-343-8373) and Kyle Kelley (Girdwood Service Area Manager).
Meetings & Public Input
GBOS regular meetings are held on the third Monday of each month at 7:00 PM in the Girdwood Community Room (and online via Microsoft Teams). Meetings are open to the public, and community input is highly encouraged.
Relationship with Municipality of Anchorage
Because Girdwood is a service area within the Municipality of Anchorage (MOA), GBOS advises the Anchorage Assembly and Mayor on local tax levies, capital budgets, and zoning ordinance overrides.
