The Board of Game is the state's regulatory authority that passes regulations
to conserve and develop Alaska's wildlife resources. The Board of Game is
charged with making allocative and regulatory decisions. The board has
seven members, each appointed by the governor for a three year term. Each
member must be confirmed by a joint session of the state legislature.
The Board of Game generally meets two or three times a year,
during the period November through April. Meetings vary from 10 days to 14
days. The board may also meet due to a court action, legislation or an
emergency situation. Regulation changes are considered on a region-based
schedule with each region being discussed on a two-year cycle.
