Sealaska Certifies 2026 Board of Directors Election Results

On June 27, 2026, Sealaska Corporation proudly certified the results of its Board of Directors election during the 53rd Annual Meeting of Shareholders held in Angoon, Alaska. This pivotal event saw shareholders participating in the election of four open board seats, underlining the corporation's commitment to engaging its community and allowing their voices to guide organizational governance.

Richard Rinehart, the Chairman of Sealaska's Board, emphasized the importance of long-term value creation for shareholders. He stated, "Sealaska is committed to building long-term value for our shareholders—value that can grow for generations to come." This commitment is not just a statement; it is a strategy that drives the direction of the corporation, closely aligned with its core values and essential goals for the future.

The newly elected board members are:

• - Lisa Ka'illjuus Lang
• - Karen Taug
• - Anthony Mallott
• - Dr. Angela Michaud

These leaders are expected to play a crucial role in steering Sealaska towards its mission of strengthening its people, culture, and homelands.

In an encouraging development, Madeline Soboleff Levy, the Vice President of Policy and Corporate Affairs, reported an increase in voter turnout compared to previous years. "This year's voter turnout reflects an increase from last year. Sealaska is committed to making voting accessible because every voice meaningfully shapes our governance," she added. This highlights Sealaska's efforts in enhancing shareholder engagement and ensuring that each member feels empowered to contribute to the decision-making processes.

Notably, shareholders decided against adopting a resolution regarding discretionary voting, emphasizing a clear preference for governance methods that resonate with the organization's established practices.

Sarah Dybdahl, the President of Sealaska, underscored the integral role shareholders play in the company’s ongoing success. She remarked, "Our shareholders are at the heart of Sealaska's success. Their engagement shapes our direction and our ability to build on strong results, accelerate growth, and create lasting value for our shareholders, communities, and future generations." This perspective reiterates the organization’s valuing of shareholder opinions and their critical contribution toward achieving expansive goals.

Looking forward, Sealaska has announced plans to host its 2027 Annual Meeting in Portland, Oregon, which promises to be another opportunity for shareholders to engage and impact the future trajectory of the corporation.
