SBP board hires new executive director

Cheri Spink

The School Business Partnership program has a new leader, Cheri Spink. She will be working with outgoing executive director Tam Agosti-Gisler through May 2012. Spink will be set up with an ASD email account soon; in the meantime you can contact her by phone at 339-7278 or email at sbpartnerships@gmail.com.

Agosti-Gisler will be stepping down from SBP and moving on to her newly-elected position on the Anchorage School Board. She will be sworn in after the municipality certifies the election.

"The Anchorage School Business Partnership executive director position has not only been my job the past six years, it's been my passion,” said Agosti-Gisler. “I not only believe in its mission of enhancing the education of Anchorage’s students though collaborative partnerships between the education and business community, but I have seen the positive impact that those relationships have on the lives of students. I hope to remain involved in the program in a different role in the future and I know the SBP program is in good hands with my successor."

About us

Anchorage School Business Partnerships started in 1991 and has since grown to over 540 partnerships with an economic value of over $2.5 million. They range from a one person business to large organizations such as BP and FedEx. The organization is supported by both the Anchorage School District and the Anchorage Chamber of Commerce.

Anchorage SBP operates as a non-profit corporation with a Board of Directors that provides guidance and direction for the program as a whole. Partnerships range from a one-person business involved with a school to large corporations involved with many schools and sometimes districtwide. Each partnership starts with an agreement in which both the business and the school outline what the expectations are for each party.
