 "I am honored to be president of an organization made up of men and women who believe children are our top priority," said Sunni Hilts, KPBSD school board member [District 9] and new AASB president. "School board members are so important to our children and to our state.  I believe that we will make a difference as we use our voice together—a difference for children."

Hilts, representing KPBSD district 9, took leadership in her new position as president of the 15-member Association of Alaska School Boards (AASB) board of directors during the 60th annual conference and youth leadership institute in Anchorage, Alaska, November 7-10, 2013. 

"All of KPBSD is proud of Sunni taking the helm of the AASB board," said Dr. Steve Atwater, superintendent. "I know that she is well regarded by her peers from across the state and will do an excellent job."
 

 "This recognition is another indicator of how highly esteemed our school district is throughout the state of Alaska," said KPBSD school board president Joe Arness.

Hilts current term with the KPBSD Board of Education expires in 2016, and she will be AASB president for one year.
