Goldbelt’s Board of Directors have appointed Katherine Eldemar to fulfill the remaining two years of the term of former board member, Derek Duncan, who resigned this past May in order to accept the position of Vice President of Operations at Goldbelt, Inc.

 “We had several excellent candidates for this board seat and we appreciate everyone who took the time to apply,” says Board Chair, Joseph Kahklen.  “However, with Katherine’s past service and her demonstrated commitment to our shareholders and community, the board felt that she was the right choice to complete this board term.”

 Ms. Eldemar previously sat on the Goldbelt Board of Directors for three consecutive terms from 1988-97 where she served as Vice-Chair and Corporate Secretary.  She is currently on the Board of Directors of the United Way of Southeast Alaska, and most recently was appointed Co-chair of the Census 2010 Complete Count Committee for the City and Borough of Juneau.  She is a graduate of Seattle University’s Alber’s School of Business (BA) and the University of Puget Sound’s School of Law (J.D.).

 Ms. Eldemar will join Delfin “Del” Cesar, Kathy Polk and Trudy Skan, who were recently elected to three year terms at the 36^th Annual Meeting of Shareholders and current board members Joseph Kahklen, Andrea Cadiente-Laiti, Ben Coronell, Karen Taug and Randy Wanamaker.

NOTICE TO ALL SHAREHOLDERS

Goldbelt requires all shareholders who want to use Goldbelt lands for camping or other recreational purposes to first acquire a permit from the Corporate Office. Shareholders using the land without obtaining a permit can be asked to leave the premises. Without knowing who is using our property, it becomes difficult for the Corporation to monitor use and to take measures when users are not respectful of the property or other shareholders’ right to use it.  Our rules and regulations are clear that users must follow certain rules, or they will lose their right to use the property. 

On June 1st, at the 36th Annual Meeting, shareholders elected three directors to three year terms.  Kathy Polk replaced Edith McHenry and re-elected were Trudy Skan and Del Cesar. Following are the full election results as certified by the Inspector of Elections:

The Board of Directors postponed the reorganization of the Board until its meeting on June 27, 2010, when a new Director will be appointed to fill the unexpired term of former Director Derek Duncan.
