Corey Aist is president of the Anchorage Education Association.   Born and raised in Los Angeles, he graduated from the University of California, Davis with a Bachelor of Science in Child Development in 1992. In 1993, Corey and his then-girlfriend, now wife, drove up the AlCan with their two young puppies, and ever since have called Alaska home, along with their four children—all students and graduates of Anchorage School District.  Corey began working for the Anchorage School District in 1996, after earning a Bachelor of Education degree with Honors from UAA.  He taught at Muldoon Elementary School for 10 years, then at Polaris K-12 for 14 years. Corey joined AEA’s Bargaining Team and Rights Committee in 2004. Always an advocate for teachers, he helped negotiate nine contracts for AEA members before becoming AEA President in July 2020.
