Carl F. N. Rose
Executive Director
Association of Alaska School Boards
Carl Rose, executive director of the Association of Alaska School Boards, has devoted most of his adult life to improving public schools and advocating for the youth of Alaska. Since being elected to the Skagway School Board as a young businessman in 1974, rising to president of the AASB in 1983, and serving in his current position since 1987, Rose has participated in every major education innovation in Alaska.
Today, AASB is one of the most prominent organizations in Alaska public education, representing 53 local school districts and working with many partner organizations to promote the education, health, welfare and safety of children and youth. Under his leadership, AASB has matured from a small non-profit with limited responsibilities into statewide organization that advocates for Alaska’s children.
An alumnus of the University of Washington, Rose and his wife Frances are parents of two adult children, Travis and Tyler, who were educated in Alaska schools.
