Choggiung Votes!

Each Year, Choggiung Shareholders have the opportunity to cast their votes for three board members and questions related to the policy at Choggiung. The voting period is annually between August and September, and concludes before the annual shareholder meeting in Dillingham.

Choggiung, Limited’s nine-member Board of Directors is composed of shareholder-directors serving staggered three-year terms, with three seats elected each year. In 2018, the Board shifted from an open proxy listing to a qualification-based, screened process designed to promote stable, effective governance and long-term corporate performance, drawing on practices observed in successful Alaska Native Corporations.

Interested shareholders and incumbents submit an application package (cover letter, resume, questionnaire, and three reference letters), after which a Nominating Committee interviews qualified applicants and recommends up to four candidates for the Board-endorsed, board-solicited proxy; shareholders then vote by proxy or in person, and the top three vote-getters are elected. Directors comply with conflict-of-interest and standards-of-conduct requirements, meet quarterly with executive management, and provide core governance functions including setting strategy and budgets, overseeing performance and ethics, and selecting and retaining the President & CEO.
