The Anchorage Sister Cities Commission held a hybrid meeting on September 14, 2026, starting at 6:03 PM and adjourning at 7:10 PM. The meeting initially lacked a quorum but achieved quorum after additional members joined. Commissioners discussed commission training, sister city assignments, activities planning, a proposed membership in Sister Cities International, summer break scheduling, updates on a pending new sister city (Haisi Fei), a Japanese community symposium, and the commission's separate website. Several motions were passed or amended.
