What is the Office of Partnership and Public Engagement? 

Working together is how Team Alaska is successful in caring for the land and serving people. The Office of Partnership and Public Engagement (OPPE) combines several programs into one collaborative team with expertise in partnership coordination, public engagement, recruitment and retention, and grants and agreements.
