Community Travel Recap – First Leg
Aleut began our 2025 in-region community travel in early June, visiting Unalaska and St. Paul. It was a joy to reconnect in person, share corporate updates, hear from shareholders, and provide space for questions and conversation. Thank you to everyone who joined us—your voices make these gatherings special. We’re also excited to announce that the winners of round-trip tickets to the 2025 Annual Meeting in Anchorage are:
• Unalaska – Susan Rushing
• St. Paul – John W. Melovidov
During community travel this summer, Aleut President & CEO Skoey Vergen was interviewed in KUCB’s studios in Unalaska with reporter Sofia Stuart-Rasi where they chatted about the upcoming Spinlaunch project, the military interest in Adak, and shareholder impact.
