Leilani Wilson Walkush
I live in Washington State with my
husband, David Walkush, and our
three children - Malina, Keanu & Alana.
I was born and raised in Juneau - my
parents are John and Sue Wilson,
and my grandmother is Rose (Brown)
Miller. Inheriting Sealaska shares as a
toddler gives me a unique perspective
– only knowing what it means to be a
shareholder, even though I am a descendant.
In 2020, I successfully petitioned to have a shareholder resolution on the proxy. The majority of voting shareholders supported the term limits proposal, however, it did not meet the super majority of all shareholders threshold. I will continue advocating for reasonable term limits, a standard I apply to myself.
After accomplishing everything and more that I promised Goldbelt shareholders in just two terms on the Board, I chose not to run for re-election last year. Exponential growth required pushing myself, my fellow Directors, and our management team, to continuously improve. We used our diverse backgrounds & experiences to make prudent decisions that benefited the corporation and shareholders.
As an independent candidate, I am excited to bring this proven experience with measurable results to Sealaska. Please vote directed for me.
