Overview

Southeast Conference (SEC) is the lead entity administering the Alaska Mariculture Cluster grant and oversees the Grant Administration component project. Since its founding in 1958, SEC has been a driving force in regional economic and community development in Southeast Alaska. By working closely with municipal, tribal, and business leaders, SEC is advancing key initiatives in mariculture, renewable energy, transportation, and infrastructure across the region.

Southeast Conference is responsible for compiling grant reports, accounting oversight, contract compliance, financial reporting, and tracking progress on projects and outcomes. SEC staff work with the Governance Body, coalition members, and subaward recipients to ensure project goals, timelines and deliverables are being met and successes communicated more widely. Travel is also a component of the budget and will allow for attendance to conference and work with stakeholders and sub-award recipients in all four Economic Development Districts.
