The Sealaska Board of Directors is comprised of 13 diverse Sealaska shareholders. Our leaders are business savvy and politically astute, from major cities as well as Southeast villages. They bring perspectives from all ages as respected Elders and innovative young professionals, and understand the issues important to our Native people.

All board members are dedicated to our shareholders, to the business success of the corporation and to the advancement of our culture.

Board members have an active calendar of regular board meetings throughout the year to review corporate performance and make strategic corporate decisions. Directors also serve on board committees that focus on specific policy areas, including audit, shareholder relations, compensation, finance and nominations.

"Our forefathers had a dream of educating our people. One of our commitments is to make that dream a reality."—Clarence Jackson, Sr.
