Message from the Chairman

BOARD OF DIRECTORS A Message from the Chairman

I would like first to acknowledge my predecessor, RICHARD JUNG, former Chairman of the CVRF Board of Directors. He was the longest serving chairman in the history of the company. His dedication and leadership helped guide us into new, uncharted waters during challenging times, and his continued service on the Board will undoubtedly help guide us moving forward. The community of Napakiak and the Board are well served with his leadership.

CVRF has much to be proud of for 2021, including new investments in crab and pollock and the success of our Honda Warranty Repair Program, which services Honda ATVs and snowmachines at three CVRF shops in our region, but we cannot become complacent with our successes. We must continue to set the bar high, to reach for opportunities that increase our Bering Sea allocations and, in turn, increase the benefits and opportunities we provide our residents and communities.

At the close of every year, we reflect on the successes and challenges faced, and we plan for the future. These past years have proven challenging for CVRF, with the ongoing COVID pandemic, the uncertainty in the Bering Sea, and changes in management and staff. We have worked through these difficulties thanks to our dedicated staff, who take pride in the work we do. Our executive team has decades of experience and knowledge, many with ties to our region. Those ties offer a window into our people, our way of life, and the challenges we face now. We are here to serve our region’s residents and continue to provide benefits and opportunity while expanding our Bering Sea ownership so we can create more opportunities for future generations.

CVRF is always open to dialogue and collaboration with anyone who wants to talk. We all have needs and wants, we all have concerns, and we all have a voice. If you have anything you would like to share with us, please reach out to your local board member or call the Anchorage office. We are listening. Thank you all and have a wonderful year!
