Virtual Shareholder Orientation offers connection, information for original and new shareholders alike
Monday, February 26, 2024

Sealaska’s Shareholder Relations team hosted a virtual shareholder orientation on Tuesday, Feb. 20 for an audience of nearly 170 shareholders from far and wide. This event offered both new and long-term shareholders a chance to learn more about the benefits and responsibilities of being a shareholder and answer questions about specific Shareholder Relations policies, procedures and protocol.  

Shareholder Relations Manager Jodie Gatti, who joined the Sealaska team in November, was joined by Enrollment and Event Coordinator Vanessa Allen as they provided participants with greater background on what it means to be a Sealaska shareholder. One of the key takeaways? Shareholders without a stock will on file are encouraged to add one, to assist both their own loved ones and the Shareholder Relations department in carrying out their wishes should they pass away.

Questions about stock type, gifting and inheritance, Elder benefits and Landless shareholders were also addressed in the session. Shareholder Relations appreciates shareholder engagement and questions, and encourages shareholders to connect via the “Message” feature on MySealaska, found here: https://mysealaska.com/AboutMe/SendMessage.  

We appreciate the engagement and participation of the shareholders who tuned into the event, and the feedback we received from those who completed the post-event survey. Those who completed the survey were eligible to win one of three $100 cash prizes. 

If you missed this virtual session, we invite you to tune into our next virtual event: 

  • First Quarter Board Q&A, hosted on MySealaska from 12-1 p.m. Alaska time.
