PRESIDENT & CEO BOB LOISELLE ANNOUNCES RETIREMENT
Dear Shareholders,
Board of Directors
As many of you may know, I have announced to the board that I intend to
retire at the end of this year. I did not come to this decision lightly, but it is
clear to me that it is the right thing to do for both myself and my family, as

Career Development Program
GOLDBELT PLACES SIX STUDENTS IN JUNEAU FOR SUMMER INTERNSHIPS
By Colton Welch
Corporate Communications Intern
This summer, Goldbelt’s Career Development Program has
placed six college students in internships. All interns are
working in Juneau. Internships last approximately twelve
to fourteen weeks and offer relevant career experience
designed to further educational and career opportunities
for the intern.
Each internship position is paid a competitive wage and
offers interns a variety of in-depth professional, hands-on
experiences. In addition, all of the interns attend weekly
career development workshops where they learn valuable
knowledge for succeeding in the workplace.
David Russell-Jensen, is working in Retail Management at
the Raven Eagle Gift Shop. “I am doing a little bit of everything to keep the store running smoothly,” says David.
“My favorite, however, is sharing our culture and beautiful
artwork with the thousands of guests who visit us.”
Krista Bontrager is interning with the Human
Resources department.
This fall, She will attend
Ft. Lewis College in Durango, Colorado where
she will pursue a bachelor’s in Psychology.
She is the daughter of shareholder
Theodora Castillo and is of the Eagle
moiety and Wolf clan (Yanyeidi). When
Krista isn’t working, she enjoys hiking,
camping, boating, and taking advantage of the Alaskan lifestyle.
The internships extend over a wide variety of career interests. The program is available to shareholders and descendants who are attending or have recently graduated from
a college, university, or vocational school.
“Back in high school, I took accounting classes and realized I really like the subject but never got too far in depth,”
says Aubrey Briscoe, a second-year accounting intern. “I
accepted the internship last year having only had those
classes and afterwards I realized accounting is something
I have a passion for.”
A requirement of Goldbelt’s Career Development Program is the completion of at least one major summer project. Other responsibilities for the interns also include assisting with the annual meeting, attending weekly career
development seminars, and completing other duties as
assigned by their supervisor.
Isaac Martin, the Shareholder Services intern, has already

NORMAN’S CORNER: SHAREHOLDER IDs & YOU
Goldbelt shareholders who have a Shareholder ID card know they have a valuable resource
that does more than just identify them as a Goldbelt shareholder.
Having a shareholder ID card means you can enjoy a day at the Goldbelt Mount Roberts Tramway with a discounted $5.00 day ticket (regular price $32.00) or a Shareholder Season Pass. For
our out-of-town shareholders visiting Juneau, you could stay at our recently renovated Goldbelt
Hotel with a discounted rate on a guest room.
Goldbelt also recently launched a new program for our elder shareholders. Once you reach
age 65, you are eligible to receive an Elders’ ID which allows for free access to the Tramway.
Q: Why do I need a Shareholder ID card?
A: Having a shareholder ID card is a wonderful asset. It provides you valuable savings when visiting the Tramway or staying at the Goldbelt Hotel. Your shareholder ID number is also printed on
your ID to help you with filling out shareholder forms, voting your proxy, or applying for employment with Goldbelt.
Q: How do I get a shareholder ID card?
A: You may stop by the corporate office to have your picture taken and receive your shareholder ID. You must bring a
state or federal ID with you for verification in order for us to issue you an ID.
Q: How do I get a shareholder ID card if I am unable to visit the corporate office?
A: Shareholders can visit our website and under Shareholder Services download
an ID Request Form and submit the completed form with a picture by mail or email to “shareholder@goldbelt.com”.
Q: How long does it take to receive an ID card once requested?
A: It only takes a few minutes to process an ID card. If you stop by the office, your
ID card will be issued to you right away. If you submit a request via e-mail or mail,
cards are generally processed within one business day and mailed out the next
day via the U.S. post office. Depending on where you live, it can take an average
of 3-10 business days for delivery.
Q: What discounts can I receive while visiting Goldbelt Mount Roberts Tramway?
A: Shareholders with their ID card can purchase a day ticket for $5.00 or purchase a season pass for 50% off the regular price. They can also receive a 10%
discount at the Raven Eagle Gift Shop and the Timberline Bar & Grill.
Q: What is the discount rate for staying at the Goldbelt Hotel?
A: Discount rates vary depending on the season and availability. Please contact
the Goldbelt Hotel toll free at (888) 478-6909 or locally at (907) 586-6900 for more
information on current rates and discounts.

an internal testamentary audit and helped organize the elders’ cruise. Now I’m working on a policy manual for shareholders.” Isaac also spoke highly of the program’s in-depth
nature. “I like how hands-on everything is and how applicable everything is to the real world. I feel like I’ve gotten a
lot of corporate experience and I’ve learned a lot of new
skills I didn’t have before.”
In addition to the opportunities offered in Juneau, Goldbelt also offers placements for interns at most Lower 48
subsidiaries. These interns can receive additional financial
support to cover the cost of travel and housing. Regardless
of location, the internship program provides invaluable experience for those looking for career perspective.
“I feel like I’m gaining a step up compared to any other
juniors or seniors in college who haven’t had an internship
in their field,” says Aubrey. “I’m already on my second year
of accounting experience.” Interns are also eligible for an
additional scholarship of up to $500 for their upcoming semester pending the successful completion of their internship.
The application process for the Goldbelt Career Development Program opens in January with priority registration
closing in March. In order to be eligible, you must have
completed at least one semester/two quarters of college
and have completed at least twelve credit hours or have
graduated within six months of the beginning of their internship.
Colton Welch, the Corporate Communications intern,
spoke highly of the internship program and what it has to
offer. “Being able to work directly with professionals and
to be able to model your work after theirs is really helpful.
This internship is way more enriching than comparable summer jobs and you get to learn real career skills and network
with people you wouldn’t get to meet otherwise. I think the
internship program is something every student should consider applying for.”
The late, great Senator Ted Stevens breathed new life into
ANCSA corporations with both the net operating loss (NOL)
sales legislation and the special ANC provisions of the SBA 8(a)
program. The NOL sales produced large sums, some of which
were distributed to shareholders and some invested in permanent funds. Asset allocation and modern portfolio theory became part of our regular vocabulary.
8(a) contracting required learning about a new business
model – and hundreds of acronyms. One day I was having
a discussion with a contracting officer and he finally told me
to stop trying to apply business principles to government contracting. Yes sir – lesson learned. But of course, business principles do apply, maybe a bit differently.
Goldbelt has reached the place where government contracting is our major business – we are a government contractor. And that’s just fine, because the profits produced will
fund diversification, benefits, distributions and further organic
growth of our companies. The federal government is the single largest economic force in this country buying every conceivable product and service out there. If we can’t succeed
in selling to the feds, then shame on us.
Finally, one topic that all the companies that I have worked
for have struggled with is shareholder hire. Early on shareholder hire was focused on entry level positions, but of course, the
ultimate goal is to have shareholders throughout the company, especially at the management and executive level. This is
where the focus needs to be going forward. With regard to
Goldbelt, we should not lose sight of the fact that the company has had three shareholder CEOs, Mike Everson, Joe
Kahklen, and Joe Wilson. There have also been a number
of shareholder Vice Presidents including David Goade, Bob
Martin, Margaret Nelson, David Oehler, Ventura Samaniego,
Karen Taug, and current VPs Derek Duncan and Tina Cloyd.
The point of all this is that Goldbelt has historically hired the
best candidates for the position, with shareholder and Native
hire preference for qualified candidates. Our internship program is providing a conduit of great shareholder and shareholder descendant candidates for full time positions upon
graduation. Without the best people, the company will not
succeed.
Soon the board search committee will publish its criteria for
the new CEO and present finalists for the board to consider
later this year. In the meantime I will continue to run my leg
of the race and be ready for a smooth handoff of the baton
when that new “runner” comes down the track.
My sincere gratitude to all of you for the honor of being able
to serve as Goldbelt’s CEO and my very best wishes for continued success! Gunalchéesh.

Q: How do I get a Lifetime Elders’ Pass?
A: Shareholders who turn 65 can stop by the corporate office or send in a recent photo for their Elders’ ID which will
also serve as their lifetime pass to the Tramway.
Q: What are the benefits of having an Elders’ ID?
A: Elders who are 65 and over are honored with complimentary admission for them and up to three guests to the
Goldbelt Mount Roberts Tramway. The elder is also entitled
to a discount at the Raven Eagle Gift Shop and the Timberline Bar & Grill.
