Why I am running
I bring the leadership and financial expertise that Sealaska needs right now to achieve shareholders expectations of financial performance. Shareholders want to be able to trust Sealaska, see their benefits grow, and know their voice matters. I bring logic, honesty and strategic thinking to the big decisions that Sealaska will be making over the coming years. I also bring a great care for our communities and our homelands. I grew up commercial fishing and traditionally harvesting, living our Native Way of Life. I want our way of life to continue for all future generations.
Proxy Statement
I have a lifelong commitment to the success of Sealaska, its shareholders and communities. I was honored to work 18 years in executive leadership at Sealaska, serving 10 years as CEO. A highlight of my time in these roles was our focus on the use of core Native values in all decisions, which helped increase financial performance and increase shareholder benefits. As our operations improved, I was proud that we stayed committed to listening to the shareholder voice, prioritizing the benefits you care about. We were able to more than double the value of our educational scholarship fund, create new investment funds that provided memorial and language revitalization funding, while significantly growing the Shareholder Permanent Fund.
As a board member, I would work for shareholders, bringing leadership and care, to create sustainable financial results, while building a long-term vision of well-being for our people and homelands. This vision, built with shareholder input, could focus on collaboration with other organizations who share in the success of our community. Our values carry the wisdom of our ancestors and provide a path to finding balance and success for ourselves, our communities and the homelands that have provided for us for over 10,000 years.
About Anthony - Personal Statement
I grew up in Yakutat and Juneau and have always called both communities home. I grew up commercial fishing across Northern Southeast, Alaska. I am grateful for the traditional harvesting that my parents made a part of our family’s life. My Dad, Byron, focused on hunting and fishing out of Yakutat and Juneau, and my Mom, Toni, brought us up to Rampart to be on the Yukon river with my grandparents and large Koyukon family. I enjoyed checking the net and fish wheel and watching all the excitement of summer fish camp, constantly in awe of this special way of life and culture. I spend as much time with my family as possible continuing this traditional harvesting lifestyle.
I have an amazing family that I am extremely grateful for. From the big broad family of Mallotts, Powells, Scribners, Browns, Evanses to my wife Mandy and my three children, Addy, Alex and Ainsley. I could fill up this whole website with thoughts and love for my family, but will leave that to the time I get one on one with shareholders.
I am also fortunate to have a family friend network that has included mentors, clan uncles and aunties, cousins, hunting partners and peers. They have always kept me grounded in who I am as a Tlingit person and have not been shy about giving me advice and setting expectations and responsibilities on me. So many of these close connections are tied to Sealaska, Walter Soboleff, Clarence Jackson, Albert Kookesh, Al Williams, Chris McNeil, Rosita Worl, Marlene Johnson, Ethel Lund, Marge Young, Carlton Smith, Judson Brown, Nathan Jackson, Jackie Pata, Ed Thomas, Sam Demmert, Ernie Hillman, Aaron Isaacs, Sid Edenshaw, Bob Sanderson, Selina Everson, Marie Olson, David Katzeek, Paul Marks and so many more. All the other close friends are too long to list, yet you know who you are, connected to me from Yakutat, Juneau, hunting partners, basketball teammates, Sealaska work family, ANB/ANS, Tlingit and Haida, Spruce Root and SSP, and all the close shareholder community that I am privileged to have met during my 18 years with Sealaska. Gunalchéesh, Háw'aa, T'oyaxsut 'nüüsm, Ana Baasee' to you all.
With Family in my hometown of Yakutat
