Alaska Nonprofit in the News

While the resignation of Governor Sarah Palin has placed Alaska in the news spotlight most recently, The Daily News-Miner, a Fairbanks, Alaska, newspaper, reported yesterday, July 6, that, “Police are searching for an Anchorage man suspected of stealing more than $100,000 from the nonprofit Alaska Marine Conservation Council.”

The paper further reported that former employee “committed the crimes against his former employer by using company credit cards, company accounts and false reimbursements.”

As a result of the thefts, the nonprofit, The Alaska Marine Conservation Council, was “forced the nonprofit to put all paid employees on furlough, and several workers lost their jobs.”  I can only imagine that this theft was particularly hard to experience in already tough economic times.
