The Alaska Journal of Commerce announced its annual Top 40 Under 40 earlier this year, and two members of the Aleut Corporation family were recipients of this prestigious recognition. Aleut Corporation CFO Clayton Bourne (39) and Senior Vice President, Mt. McKinley Bank in Fairbanks shareholder P. Jeremy Pletnikoff (38) were honored along with 38 other young Alaskans for their demonstration of professional excellence and commitment to community.
“Choosing the Top Forty class is always a tough task, and Alaskans didn’t make it any easier this year,” Journal Managing Editor Andrew Jensen said. “We’re happy to have representation from the Kenai Peninsula, Alaska’s Gateway City in Ketchikan, Southcentral, the Interior and members from Northwest Alaska who call Nome and Kotzebue home.”
This year’s selection committee chose the class from the largest group ever nominated: 152 individuals and nearly 800 total pages of supporting materials.
Clayton and Jeremy were honored along with the other members of the 2019 Top 40 Class at an awards banquet in March of this year. Congratulations, Jeremy and Clayton!
