Cama’i Koniag shareholders and descendants. As I write this, I’m reflecting on the past seven years spent working with Koniag Education Foundation. This period has been a highlight of my professional career, and to you (and especially our students) I say quyanaasinaq. KEF is a phenomenal organization with hard-working staff, dedicated board members, a broad community of supporters near and far, and students who inspire on a daily basis. Working as KEF’s Executive Director is a privilege; I’ve been able to watch as our youth grow up, envision their goals and work hard to make their dreams a reality. I’ve shared smiles and laughs with you at shareholder info meetings and events, and been a guest in your homes. Thank you.
Germaine Salmine is our newest Executive Director, and I couldn’t be more pleased that she will be serving in this capacity. There’s no doubt that the future at KEF is bright, and I’ll be watching now as the parent of a shareholder while the organization grows and continues to support our people in innovative, meaningful ways. To our students – work hard, and strive for your goals. As ever, you make us proud.
Be well, keep in touch, and do good work.
