Crockett accepts new position with Alaska Miners

RDC Membership Director/Projects Coordinator, Deantha Crockett has been appointed Executive Director for the Alaska Miners Association. Crockett’s resignation from RDC became effective May 31.

The Alaska Miners Association (AMA) is a statewide business group similar to RDC, but with a primary focus on Alaska’s oldest industry, mining. AMA has branches in Fairbanks, Juneau, Ketchikan, Nome, and Anchorage, where Crockett will be based.

Crockett first came to RDC in May 2005 as an intern, and quickly became Membership Director and Projects Coordinator.

During her tenure at RDC, Crockett was the lead on mining and tourism issues, where she worked closely with AMA and mining members on important issues facing the mining industry.

Crockett also built on expanding RDC’s membership, as well as growing events. Crockett worked closely with state and federal governments on resource development issues.

RDC Executive Director, Rick Rogers said, “We are sorry to see Deantha leave RDC, and we will miss her experience and knowledge of our organization, but we’re thrilled for her new opportunity. Deantha is a vital part of a larger group of trade organizations, and we’ll still get to work closely with her.”
