Anchorage Unitarian Universalist Fellowship Forum Podcasts
The Speaker's Forum is held each Sunday morning from 9:00 a.m. to 10:15 a.m. Forum topics often address and spur dialogue about a current local community, statewide, national or international issue. Some forums feature a local author and the topic of the author's new book, or a representative of a local non-governmental organization (NGO) describing the organization’s work, programs, and accomplishments.

Why I Want to Be Your Mayor - Bill Popp
Bill Popp served as President & CEO of the Anchorage Economic Development Corporation for 16 years until 2023. Before joining AEDC, after a job change took him to the Kenia Peninsula, Popp and his family spent 25 years becoming engrained in that community. He served as special assistant in the Kenai Peninsula Borough Mayor's office from 2002-2007, focusing on oil & gas and mining policy under mayors of both parties. He served on the Kenai Peninsula Borough Assembly from 1996-2002, and as Assembly President in 2000. Popp also worked for 25 years in the private sector as a business owner, and for small, regional and national corporations. Popp came to Anchorage when his family moved to Elmendorf Air Force Base in 1968, and he graduated from East High School. He and his wife, Nicole, have been married for 44 years and have a son, Daniel, and a daughter, Rachael. Popp has served on boards and committees too numerous to mention; a list of nearly three dozen can be found on his website.
