Dr. Kenneth Cameron, Shee Atiká’s President/CEO since 2010, has announced his retirement effective December 31, 2019.   Dr. Cameron has been with Shee Atiká since the mid-1980s, first as a director, then as Chairman, and currently as President/CEO.

Dr. Pamela Steffes, Shee Atiká’s current Board Chair, says of Dr. Cameron: “Ken will be very much missed when he retires December 31, 2019.  Ken was instrumental in Shee Atiká’s key achievements over the past three and a half decades.”  Some of the more notable events are  the net operating loss (NOL) transactions with Quaker Oats and Drexel; the formation of Atikon and the related timber sale; the repayment of millions of dollars in debt that was incurred in the earliest years of Shee Atiká; the establishment and growth of Shee Atiká Fund Endowment (SAFE);  the long-term negotiations with the State and Sealaska to obtain road access to Shee Atiká’s 3,000 acres at Katlian Bay; the sale of Cube Cove; the development of Alice Island; the State’s acquisition of Charcoal Island to expand the Sitka airport; and obtaining Congressional legislation to provide highly favorable tax treatment for SAFE and other Alaska Native Settlement Trusts.

The Board will begin the recruitment process for Shee Atiká’s next CEO early in 2019 to allow a smooth transition for Shee Atiká, Inc. and our subsidiary companies.
