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.
