​

Camai! My name is Elizabeth (Liz) Clark. I am originally from Vero Beach, Florida, and have lived in Alaska for 12 years. I moved to Dillingham in 2014 and absolutely love the rich culture, subsistence lifestyle, and tight-knit community.
I graduated from Indian River State College in 2009 with a Bachelor of Science degree in Exceptional Student Education and a minor in ESOL (English for Speakers of Other Languages). I also have a Master of Arts in Grant Writing, Management, and Evaluation.


Upon graduation with my undergraduate degree in 2009, I moved to Alaska, where I worked for Anchorage School District’s Special Schools department. While at ASD, I worked in an alternative post-high school vocational program for students with significant cognitive disabilities. I also coordinated the first pilot Project SEARCH program in the state, a vocational program partnership for young adults with disabilities in collaboration with Providence Hospital, Anchorage School District, the State of Alaska Division of Vocational Rehabilitation, and the Governor’s Council on Disabilities and Special Education. 

When I moved to Dillingham, I started in the classroom as a special education teacher and quickly moved to the Special Education Director the following year. During this time, I was responsible for quality programming for all students with disabilities, managing budgets and staff, and maintaining grants and contracts.
In 2019, I moved to Bristol Bay Native Association. While employed at BBNA, I’ve been fortunate to have the opportunity to gain a deeper understanding of the needs of our region and community. I primarily work with two federal programs—Head Start and Tribal Childcare and Development Fund. I also support the Summer Youth Employment Program through BBNA’s Workforce Development department. I regularly liaise with local and regional organizations such as BBRCTE, BBAHC, BBEDC, Curyung, and BBNC. My work at BBNA includes planning and partnering to bring the new Downtown Playground to Dillingham. During my career at BBNA, I have served on the City of Dillingham’s Planning Commission since 2019. 


Outside of school and work, I enjoy all of Dillingham's natural wonders. My family and I engage in subsistence activities in the summer, including hunting, fishing, berry picking, and harvesting and processing local medicinal plants. I love ‘snow-going’ in the winter with my son Gabe and husband Karl. We particularly enjoy ice fishing for smelts on the Snake River, just 5 minutes from our house. I am also an avid musician and painter. Overall, living in Dillingham has been a dream come true. I love the land, people, culture, and pace of life here, and I plan on living in Dillingham for a long time to come. 


Thank you for your consideration. I would be honored to serve as your next Bristol Bay Campus Director.
