CANDIDATES FOR ELECTION

James Craig

“I want to serve the shareholders of Shee Atiká the best way I know how. I am committed to staying informed, asking questions, and highlighting areas of opportunity. I recognize the importance of shareholders staying engaged with their board and leadership. I’ve always held high esteem for the people who have helped pave the way for all of this to be possible for us. I believe that Shee Atiká can, and should do more for its shareholders regarding employment, training and localized/regionalized efforts. I believe in the power of our matrilineal society. Since being elected, I have advocated to keep our unique cultural values at the forefront of our decision making and have worked cohesively with all other directors, despite our differences. I listen and speak from the heart. I feel confident in our current board and am grateful to have served you all. I am grateful for the challenges I have endured and overcome. I wish to continue to serve our shareholders for another term so I can continue to help make improvements that our shareholders will feel. I recognize the need for change and believe now is the time. Please support me with your vote, I promise to fight for us.”

“Good morning shareholders of SAI. Want to take this time to share a little history of myself today. First I was born in Juneau, Alaska. Grew up in Sitka, Alaska. Graduated from Sitka High School in 1982. Son of Joe and Agnes Johnson Sr. Grandson to Ann Keener. Married to Sally Johnson for 23 years. Started working for ConocoPhillips (A.S.R.C. & Veco) for 10 years at the Kuparuk oil field on the Major Oil Projects Team, safety team and attended safety meetings every Sunday. Worked for Boeing in Renton, WA, for 5 years on the 737 MAX. Working Part-time for The Puyallup Tribe of Indians on special projects.

Steven Karpstein

“My name is Steve Karpstein, and I am again running as a candidate for a board seat.  I am running with the same intentions I put forth last year, serving the shareholders’ interests, our corporation’s sustainability, growth, and most importantly the preservation of our culture. I believe we must stay vigilante and steadfast in maintaining the well-being of our shareholders and continue to invest in our future. To accomplish this requires a diverse board that brings new ideas and works together while allowing input and discussion before action is taken.  Every shareholder has a strong voice as it applies to our past and our future, we must listen and hear what they are saying and make decisions based on their input as it applies to business decisions that impact our future.  Our investments are key, and who we partner with and build the relationships with will ultimately show the path ahead and provide the needed revenue to sustain and grow our corporation.  I have been a business owner in the past and I currently work for a large multi-national corporation which will allow me to bring business and relationship skills to the table to foster and maintain the growth required to build success.  The current board is doing a great job refocusing our direction and has set in motion the opportunities for our success. I will bring fresh ideas, needed balance and business knowledge to the table to influence changes where required for continued growth and success.  I believe we will succeed and build a stronger corporation for all shareholders and their descendants, it is our corporation and I humbly ask for your vote to represent us and our future.”
