Community Environmental Board

The Community Environmental Board was formed to provide information exchange between the community and the base. With the merger of Elmendorf AFB and Fort Richardson, the board has transitioned to become the Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson Community Environmental Board. The board will resume semi-annual meetings, which are open to the public, once COVID-19 public health guidance allows.
