Raymond Austin

 
For decades, I have passionately advocated for meaningful change on behalf of shareholders. Unfortunately, Sealaska has consistently dismissed the concerns of those calling for an end to discretionary voting, the implementation of term limits, and fair election practices.

I won’t overwhelm you with long campaign speeches. My dedication stems from my love for Native people and our culture, and I am committed to creating opportunities that promote the well-being of Native communities. With over 40 years of experience in technology, I aim to leverage my skills to enhance our people's capabilities and drive our advancement.

As a board member, I will proactively collaborate with regional, urban, and tribal entities to expand employment opportunities for shareholders. I am committed to facilitating pathways for shareholders to gain certification for 8(a) jobs nationwide. With a Bachelor of Science in Management Information Systems, I possess the technical and analytical expertise necessary to effectively benefit our shareholders.

Who would you instead support: board members who mislead you about ending discretionary voting and then vanish after taking office or a dedicated advocate who will tirelessly fight for our collective best interests?
