SpecPro
Board of Directors
The
SpecPro board of directors is made up of 6 individuals elected by
shareholders to guide the corporation. This diverse group of
individuals is united by its common mission to protect and manage
the assets of the Corporation to benefit the shareholders through
consistent growth and increasing profitability while promoting the
heritage of its shareholders and their descendants.
The
board members are the same as our shareholders in terms of goals and
experiences. Some work for profit, nonprofit, or government
businesses. Other directors rely primarily on subsistence or
commercial fishing. Some live in the Bristol Bay region, others in
Anchorage. All are committed to the success of SpecPro, to serving
our shareholders, and to "Enriching our Native way of
Life."
