Alysha Dawn Guthrie


As a former Sitka Gajaa Heen dancer, I am excited for the opportunity to put my name forward to serve our shareholders.

I’ve been involved with Sealaska since my undergraduate internships as well as serving as the Board Youth Advisor in 2013-2014. That time spent on the board was invaluable as it coincided with a critical time in Sealaska’s history - a turnaround company hiring a new CEO, finalizing our core values, and divesting of subsidiaries that did not align with the vision of Sealaska’s future. I was inspired to pursue my MBA, which I accomplished concentrating on Finance and International Business.

My relevant experience includes commercial fisheries and international seafood marketing. I currently serve as the Director of Administrative Operations for the Alaska Permanent Fund Corporation. Our mission to invest for the future benefit of all Alaskans resonates with me as an Alaskan Native; also, our values align – integrity, stewardship, and passion. This alignment and working with fiduciaries of State funds will increase my effectiveness as a board director.

I have loved serving Shee Atika shareholders for the last four years; I would be honored to utilize my education, professional, and ANC board experience to benefit our shareholders. Gunalchéesh!
