Kristin Carpenter, Chair
Kristin has worked for years to create a long-term legacy for Cordova, and was instrumental in working with The Alaska Community Foundation to establish an Affiliate Foundation in Cordova. Her desire to help our community become more self-reliant became a reality in 2019, and she has led the CCF board as the chairperson ever since. She says, “So many people work really hard to support Cordova’s nonprofits and youth activities, and this is a way to contribute to that work.” In her spare time, Kristin is an avid runner and skier, which allows her to indulge in her favorites – Cordova’s amazing seafood and chocolate chip cookies, especially enjoyed around the campfire at Alaganik Slough. Kristin stays in Cordova because she loves how people here help each other and care about each other.

Jake Borst, Secretary
When Jake was told about the Cordova CF a few years ago, he jumped at the opportunity to serve on the Advisory Board. He loves giving back to the community that has done so much for him and his loved ones, and he loves working with people whose similar passions are an inspiration for him. When asked about his connections to Cordova, he mentioned busy summers and serene winters, blustery sideways rain and clear, bluebird skies. The countless adventures to be had can happen in any of these circumstances. But mainly he values the people here. Jake is a man of many talents, and occasionally even waxes poetic, as he did when asked about his hobbies:
“Hiking the trails or making some sales.
Kayaking rivers and getting wet, or stacking the leads and corks of the net.
Writing and reading a good book, pretending to know how to cook.
Coaching and playing basketball, continues to enthrall.
Taking whatever each new day will bring, these are a few of my favorite things.”
