Katie Pankow
Katie Pankow has a Master’s of Fine Arts in Acting from the University of Florida. She currently works with Denali Education Center, managing their Road Scholar learning vacation itineraries. She and her husband, Joel Stigliano, have called Talkeetna home since 2021. For the last two winters, she and Joel have developed, taught and produced “Made for the Stage,” a free weekly theatre camp for kids in grades 3 -12 at the Denali Arts Council. Katie has extensive non-profit experience, and strongly believes that every child should have access and exposure to visual and performing arts, and every community deserves a thriving arts scene.

Karl Swanson
My appreciation for the arts came from my mother. Growing up in Anchorage, she had
tickets to the opera, the symphony, the theater and more. As my father was not as into
the arts as my mother, she would take me or one of my brothers; I loved it. I want to
help foster the arts in Talkeetna and feel that my love of the arts and my background
as a Certified Public Accountant would make me a valuable asset on the Denali Arts
Council board.
