Get Ready to Vote, Recapping Candidate Forums and Ballot Measure 1 Discussion
Wednesday, October 24, 2018
The 2018 midterm elections are Tuesday, Nov. 6, 2018 and will feature hundreds of congressional, state and local races across the country. Throughout this election season, Sealaska collaborated with the Get Out The Native Vote (GOTNV) Southeast Alaska Partners to enhance candidate engagement and voter education.
Sealaska along with Tlingit & Haida, Goldbelt, Inc., Huna Totem Corporation, Kootznoowoo, Inc., The League of Women Voters, Sacred Grounds Café, the Juneau Radio Center, Sealaska Heritage Institute, SEARHC, and Tlingit-Haida Regional Housing Authority conducted several public forums allowing all candidates to share their perspective on the issues.
Sealaska has 23,000 shareholders living across all 50 states, and we know they are going to have varying opinions on any given issue. With respect to advocacy and policy, Alaska Natives from Southeast Alaska have always been collaborative and thoughtful, but willing to take a stand on what’s in the best interest of their people. You see this in the long history of shareholders successfully running for office for decades from both parties. Sealaska respects all shareholder positions and political views and encourages everyone to participate in the mid-term elections on Tuesday November 6, 2018.

Sealaska Seeking Applicants for President
Posted 6/3/2025We are continuing our search for a dynamic and visionary leader to serve as Sealaska’s president. It is important that we find the right candidate to fill this position, which is why the Sealaska board of directors is being as exacting as possible as we search for a candidate capable of amplifying the impact of our mission and providing benefits that empower our shareholders. To this end, the Sealaska board of directors recently revised the job description for the position of president and sought the assistance of a professional recruiting firm. Our hope is to announce a successful candidate as our new president this coming summer.
Shareholder Proxy Update
Posted 5/12/2025Shareholders, an error occurred when printing proxy cards regarding the number of shares you own and votes you have in the top right corner of your proxy card. This error does not affect the validity of your paper proxy, nor does it affect voting on MySealaska.com through the Election Connection portal
Early Bird Deadline Extended
Posted 5/12/2025After considering the recently announced U.S. Postal Service delays to First-Class Mail in conjunction with a paper proxy error leading shareholders who wish to vote by mail to potentially wait for their regularly scheduled second proxy mailing, we have made the decision to extend the early bird deadline to June 6. We are listening to shareholders and want to give everyone the best chance to qualify as an early bird. Thank you for understanding and thank you for voting.
