BY RESOLUTION OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS.

By:  Norma J. Perkins, Secretary, Shee Atiká, Incorporated

At Shee Atika, the addition of more government contracts helped us move toward financial stability and profitability. Elected in 2017 as the first in a slew of independent candidates since, Directors have worked to make ours a respectable Board with trustworthy business practices – a corporation that other businesses want to work with. The change of our investment company to Mesirow Financial has also proved a positive change for our company, providing long-term stability. Our challenge now is to sustain the long-term goal of financial stability, not only for the sake of distributions in the now, but also for our grandchildren and great grandchildren. We still have big decisions to make when it comes to our remaining land in Katlian Bay, where the state road being built will allow easier access.

As the current longest-serving board member, with the collaboration and hard work of the existing board, I am proud of the steps we have taken. Though not “there” yet, with a board more firmly rooted in our traditional value of respect, even amid conflict, we are heading in the right direction. I am asking for your vote and would be humbled to be able to continue the work toward positive changes in our corporation for our shareholders, and generations to come. Gunalchéesh.”

Note: On May 8, 2017, Mr. Garrity entered Consent Decree #17-103-2-S with the State of Alaska, Division of Banking & Securities agreeing that Mr. Garrity had violated certain securities laws during his campaign for election to the Board of Directors at the 2017 Annual Meeting. At such time he was an independent candidate for election to the Board of Directors and was not a participant in the Board’s proxy solicitation. This disclosure concerning Mr. Garrity is required by 3 AAC 08.345(b)(1)(G).

I want to thank you. I’m grateful to have been elected to be that voice in the board room. I have had the honor and privilege to serve as the Treasurer and Chair the Finance and Audit Committee over the last two years. Our Committee works closely with our executive leadership to provide a deeper financial review as our government contracting has seen significant growth.

Our current board is fully engaged and has worked tirelessly to set a strategic direction for sustainable growth that ensures a strong company for our future generations:

• We have built a strong management and board partnership.
• We are committed to operate in our values to fulfill our fiduciary responsibility.

We have an incredible leadership team and we’re on the right path, heading in the right direction. 2022 brought challenges, some anticipated with our growth, and some unanticipated with key leadership changes. Through it all, I am proud of the work we have accomplished as a team that is committed to excellence, accountability, and respect.
I would love the opportunity to continue the work that we have started. We have laid the foundation for sustainable operations success with a redefined long-term vision that is guided by our values.

I ask for your vote to reappoint me to serve as your board director for Shee Atika.

Gunalcheesh, thank you for your trust and support.”

I graduated with honors from Stanford University in 2012. I became the first Tlingit Miss Alaska USA and finalist at Miss USA in 2017. I am also the first Native Contributor for NBC and MSNBC. I am also the host of “The Culture Is: Indigenous Women” special airing June 2023 on MSNBC and streaming on Peacock.

Prior to becoming Miss Alaska USA, I worked as a Worldwide Partner Marketing Manager for Microsoft Corporation, and was part of their Microsoft Accelerated College Hire training program (MACH). That program laid the foundation for my background in marketing and business.

I am an executive communications coach for the CEO of the Dine Development Corporation. I craft and shape the delivery of various external and internal communications. I am an author of a children’s book, Journey of the Freckled Indian: A Tlingit Culture Story. The United Talent Agency represents me as a professional speaker, host and author.

I seek to be of service to Shee Atika as a board member. I offer my experiences and perspectives as an individual with a unique personal and professional career path. Thank you/ Gunalcheesh for your consideration.”

Previously as Executive Director of the largest Indian Housing Authority in the NW, I managed 683 dwelling units, 80+ employees and an asset base of $67 Million. Moreover, as the Shee Atiká Controller/Property Manager, I managed all phases of the redevelopment of the four-story Totem Square Building into office/retail space.

Since graduation, I’ve been dedicated to improving the economic well-being of Native Americans and Alaskan Natives. Over my career I have held increasingly responsible positions in the areas of commercial real estate lending, commercial real estate development, property management, management consulting and affordable housing. Several of these positions have been executive level positions. As a business professional I have managed or consulted to businesses from startups to mature businesses from a range of industries.

As time passes, our shareholder family grows, and our corporation faces greater competitive pressures. I am qualified and committed to contributing to the evolution and growth of Shee Atiká so that we can: protect our land, preserve our cultures, and foster the social and economic wellbeing of our families. I respectfully ask for your vote. Gunalchéesh.”

Now more than ever for us as Southeast Alaska’s first peoples, the institutions that represent our inheritance and way of life, specifically Shee Atiká, must be financially secure in order to preserve our culture and our values. I am committed to continue to work hard so that Shee Atiká can return to profitability and become a company that creates opportunity for shareholders beyond dividend checks.

I continue to be committed to positive change and increasing transparency in Shee Atiká operations and practices. We as shareholders have to know that Shee Atiká is working with our best interests in mind. And the best way we can know that is if the board and management communicate honestly and transparently about Shee Atiká’s operations and finances.

Gunalchéesh, thank you for this opportunity to serve you.”
