Sealaska Wants Your Feedback
Sunday, April 25, 2021
Every few years, Sealaska reaches out to shareholders as part of an ongoing effort to gather shareholder opinions and feedback. Sealaska is launching the most recent shareholder survey the week of April 19. We look forward to hearing from shareholders through the work.
Why commission the surveys?
Surveys are a great way to engage with shareholders. Since 1981, we’ve been reaching out to shareholders to get a sense of priorities and feelings about Sealaska. It gives us insight into what you care about and allows us to incorporate shareholder voices into our decisions. The surveys are just one way we connect with shareholders, but it’s important feedback because we track it over time to see where we’re making progress and where we need to focus more attention. The results of the survey help us prioritize shareholder concerns in all that we do and inform future decision making.
Sealaska does not see individual shareholder responses because the surveys are conducted by an independent third-party research firm called DHM Research. The survey is hosted on DHM’s server, and you are assured complete anonymity and confidentiality.
About the 2021 Shareholder Survey
It should only take a few minutes of your time to complete. The deadline to complete your survey is May 15, 2021. In appreciation of your time, shareholders who return their survey by the deadline will be entered into a drawing to win one of the following prizes:

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.
