The purpose of this letter is to encourage Sealaska shareholders to support Karen Taug for election to the board of directors. I am doing so for four reasons:
First, Karen is an experienced with corporate board roles, having served both as director and chairman of the Board of Goldbelt, Incorporated, the urban corporation for Juneau.
Second, she brings a wealth of expertise in the finance arena. This is evidenced by her current service to the administration of Bartlett Regional Hospital where she serves as corporate controller.
Third, she cares deeply about preservation of Tlingit culture and education initiatives that impact many lives. At the present time, she volunteers for her role as the president of the Goldbelt Heritage Foundation.
Finally, Karen should be recognized by shareholders by taking the time to put together the current proposal to shareholders to reduce the size of the Sealaska board.
Vote for Karen Taug for the Sealaska Board! And vote in favor of reducing the size of the Sealaska board.
Carlton Smith,
Juneau
