HAPPY LABOR DAY!

The Greater Fairbanks Chamber of Commerce is committed to the continued development of our workforce and provides listings of jobs in the region

as offered by chamber members.


Join us in recognizing the past, present, and future of America’s workforce.


Labor Day was first celebrated on September 5, 1882. By 1894, 23 states adopted the holiday and in the same year, President Grover Cleveland made the first Monday in September a national holiday and is now a cornerstone of American culture. 


This year, on Monday, September 2, we come together to celebrate the invaluable contributions and achievements of American workers. Their relentless efforts have shaped the nation’s work conditions, strength, excellence, commitment, and overall prosperity. This enduring spirit and dedication continue to evolve, driving progress and innovation in the 21st century.


In recognition of the 2024 Labor Day Holiday, the chamber will be

closed on Friday, August 30 and Monday, September 2.

We will reopen at 8:00 a.m. on Tuesday, September 3.

REGISTRATION CLOSES FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 6.

FIRST SESSION WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 25.

Leadership Fairbanks, facilitated by the Greater Fairbanks Chamber of Commerce, empowers emerging and established leaders through exposure to challenging ideas, community insights, lively discussions, and personal reflection. This inspiring program fosters lifelong relationships and equips participants with essential leadership skills for their organizations and community.

Each year, about 27 leaders are selected for nine monthly sessions. Participants must attend at least eight sessions and actively contribute by asking questions and sharing their unique perspectives.
