Hi! My name is Mike and I am a “life long Alaskan”. I enjoy the outdoors and witnessing the beauty Alaska displays everyday.  I am honored to serve on the AYC Board of Directors; as a student I was active with the AYC Bar Association and I still use the tools I learned then to this day. 20+ years later and I still recall meeting my mentor (Wilson Condon) and learning how to read a P&L statement and the importance the Treasurer plays for the success of the program. The gifts that AYC has given me played an integral part in the rest of my life, I couldn’t imagine a better youth run organization to be a part of.

Dan E. Dickinson is a certified public accountant in private practice in Anchorage. He also holds the certified management accountant designation.  
He has served in several state and municipal administrations, including time as the director of tax for the State of Alaska. His consulting practice concentrates on state and local taxes (SALT) with a focus on oil and gas. The spectrum of his work ranges from compliance and mechanics to long range fiscal policy issues.  A major milestone in his professional life was his involvement in the 2006 and 2007 production tax reforms in Alaska. as well as the 2010 passage of the Cook Inlet Recovery act. He was able to see some ideas that he had been advocating for years finally make it into law, (if not exactly in the form he had been advocating).  
In the eighties and nineties he was involved as a consultant and expert witness in a number of oil and gas royalty and tax cases both outside and here in Alaska. A 40+ year resident of Anchorage, he has served on the boards of several not-for profits as treasurer. He holds a BA in lunar geology from Brown University.
