Monico Albert Ortiz
I am Tlingit. My family comes
from Ketchikan.
Sealaska is an Alaskan Native Corporation. It Should Serve Our People First.
Leadership: Natives should be in top management positions.
Profit: Dividends need to improve as they are low and on a downward/flat trend.
Business: Increase our footprint in Southeast Alaska.
Bring Sealaska Back to Its Original Purpose. We Need This for Us.
Manage our lands.
Be profitable.
Prioritize our Native people.
Board/candidates we elect represent our values and the future of Sealaska. This election is critical. Will Sealaska continue to focus on European investments at the expense of Native shareholder hire? Will they reward non-Native executives for declining dividends? Our ancestors never envisioned non-Natives to be managing our company.
I envision a Sealaska where there is a strong footprint in Southeast Alaska, that Native hire is a priority, and making profits are taken seriously. As a board member, I would tirelessly work to take care of our people first. We as Alaskan Natives are the owners of Sealaska.
Partner with me to take back our Native corporation. It’s not too late. I can work with this board to make it happen with your VOTE of support.
