  • The Women Leaders of Alaska Native Corporations: a Brief Introduction to the Female Ceos and Board Chairs of Multi-Million and Billion Dollar Organizations
    The Women Leaders of Alaska Native Corporations: A Brief Introduction to the Female CEOs and Board Chairs of Multi-Million and Billion Dollar Organizations Presented By: Terry Horton The Foraker Group Anchorage, Alaska Women of the Mountains Conference Orem, Utah March 7-10, 2007 I. Introduction Alaska has many great women leaders. Presently, US Senator Lisa Murkowski, Alaska State Governor Sarah Palin, Alaska Supreme Court Chief Justice Dana Fabe are included on the list. Former Lieutenant Governor Fran Ulmer has just been appointed interim Chancellor of the University of Alaska and is always on the list. While there are many examples of women leaders in Alaska, some of the most fascinating are the women leaders who are Native Alaskan, including Katherine Gottlieb – Alaska’s only MacArthur Fellow, and long-time Alaska State Senator Georgianna Lincoln, to name a few. This paper serves to introduce the women leaders of the Regional Corporations created as a result of the Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act. These Alaska Native Corporations are some of the largest businesses in the state. Only eight Fortune 500 companies are lead by female CEOs. 1 Yet, in Alaska women are increasingly earning positions of great responsibility and authority. Currently, five of the thirteen Alaska Native Regional Corporations have female CEOs. 2 Two of them are interviewed here. 3 Also, a Chairman of the Board has been interviewed. Finally, a CEO of an Alaska Native nonprofit has been interviewed to give credit to the enormous leadership of Alaska Native women giving back to their communities through leadership positions in Alaska Native nonprofits.
