We are so proud of Reyne Athanas, one of the original founders of Tundra Women’s Coalition, on her induction into the Alaska Women’s Hall of Fame. She has poured her heart and soul into our community and we are all so much better for it. In a KYUK article about her life in Bethel and induction into the Women’s Hall of Fame, Athanas states that, of all the amazing programs and organizations she’s started up here in Bethel, the one she is the most proud of is Tundra Women’s Coalition. We couldn’t agree more and are so grateful for her foresight.

Quyana Reyne, for everything you’ve done for Tundra Women’s Coalition and the community of Bethel!

Big shout out to Addy and Forge Facilitation for an amazing Cool, Calm, and Connected training for our staff on ACEs, resilience and trauma-informed care! It was a wonderful experience that will benefit not only our staff, but our clients and residents as well. Quyana!
