Annual Shareholder Meeting

Annual Meeting News

As announced earlier, our next Annual Meeting will be held on May 4, 2019 at the Anchorage Marriott Downtown in Anchorage, AK. This venue will allow us to again offer live streaming of our Annual Meeting so all shareholders will have an opportunity to watch. We’ve had some questions regarding the Annual Meeting location.

Several factors influenced the board decision to rotate the Annual Meeting location. Historically, in addition to traveling to Sitka for board meetings 4-6 times per year, the board traveled to Anchorage, Juneau, and Seattle 2-3 times per year connecting with shareholders in these communities for Informational Meetings and Holiday Parties. With the elimination of these events, the Annual Meeting rotation allows the board to periodically connect with our shareholders in these communities. The addition of live streaming was in direct response to shareholder requests, many of whom live in other communities and never have an option to attend the Annual Meeting.

Shee Atiká is the urban corporation based in Sitka; however a majority of our shareholders reside elsewhere.

  • Sitka 30%
  • Washington 20%
  • Juneau 10%
  • Anchorage 10%
  • Elsewhere in Alaska 10%
  • Outside of Alaska or Washington 20%

Similarly, while the board previously had a majority of its members residing in Sitka, the current board has a very similar distribution.

  • Sitka – 3
  • Washington – 2
  • Juneau – 1
  • Anchorage – 1
  • Outside of Alaska or Washington – 2

When initiating the live stream option, it was important to work with professional companies who can provide quality filming and sound with controlled access and to do so in the larger communities that have the bandwidth to successfully stream. The meeting is earlier in the year to avoid peak travel rates. Although future board dates/locations have not been set, it will be held in Sitka and likely Seattle in the future before returning to Anchorage (2018) or Juneau (2017).

The Shee Atiká Board and Administration encourage all shareholders to participate in your Annual Shareholder Meeting. Thank you for your questions!
