Board Report
Dear Shareholders and Descendants,
It is a pleasure and honor to write to you for the first time as Chairman of the Board. I am grateful for the opportunity to serve our people in this role, and humbled by the Board’s confidence in me to lead them and our corporation. The next three years show incredible promise and opportunity. I would also like to thank our outgoing Board Chairman, Sharon Lind, for her leadership, and direction over the last six years.
Thanks to those of you who joined us for the virtual 49th Annual Meeting of Shareholders in October. This was our second consecutive virtual annual meeting due to COVID, and as case counts appear to be declining and vaccination rates rising, I am optimistic that an in-person Annual Meeting to celebrate our 50th Anniversary as a corporation may be possible next year.
In addition to electing members to the Board of Directors and providing financial updates, we were thrilled to be able to formally introduce Skoey Vergen as our new President & CEO.
Skoey’s experience in 8(a) contracting and management will be an important asset to us as our corporation continues to grow and leverage new opportunities to meet our mission. A recap of our annual meeting is included in this edition of The Aleutian Current.
Over the next several months, the Board will be working with closely with Skoey and the rest of the management team to establish goals and continue to move our business operations forward. We hope to have more to share with you all on that front this spring.
On behalf of your entire Board of Directors and Management Team, I wish you all safe and Happy Holidays, and a wonderful New Year!
Sincerely,
Jenifer Nelson
Chairman of the Board
