Stumble It!Orie Williams, the former president of Doyon, Limited, was elected to the corporation’s board of directors as a write-in candidate Friday.
Following a vote by the board in December, Williams resigned as president of the Native regional corporation after six years of service. Neither Williams nor Doyon executives have publicly discussed his departure, though an internal memo circulated soon after said that the company had “chosen a new path.”
“I appreciate the support and prayers from all the Doyon shareholders,” Williams said in a statement. “I am positive we can, as a united Board of Directors, work to continue to install pride, respect and positive guidance for our employees, managers, partners and customers.”
Williams’ candidacy was championed by a group of shareholders known as Friends of Doyon, which has advocated for more transparency from the board. Another write in candidate they supported, Teisha Simmons, did not get enough votes to be elected.
The other new member of the board elected Friday is Fort Yukon Mayor Jerry Carroll. Board members Andy Jimmie, Victor Nicholas and Georgianna Lincoln were re-elected to three-year terms by shareholders.

The collective IQ of Doyon shareholders has again been exemplified with the re-seating of Georgianna Lincoln.
Good luck, Orie. At least the voters got part of it right.
WHO CARES??????
As a Doyon, Limited shareholder who attended yesterday’s Annual Meeting, I would respectfully ask that in the future all comments be presented in a more positive manner. As shareholders, we all had the chance to exercise our right to vote. Doyon now has two new Board Members and I believe the Board is now adopting the philosophy of “It’s A New Day.” As such I fully believe that they are committed to working in unity and with respect to all, being more responsive to shareholders, and will dedicate themselves to heal all the past wounds. As shareholders, let’s support our Corporation as well as our Board, in achieving the philosophies which they realize are critical to our people and our culture. I believe the shareholders should follow the Board’s commitment to put an end to the bickering. It is time to move forward rather than looking back.
I Say Again...WHO CARES?????
perhaps from now on we could use that old indian trick of banishment and ignore mr. aknatuff. the only reason he writes anything is to stir things up. it should'nt be considered his opinion because he just says whatever to make trouble. very childish, just like his grammer.
Wow great going put him there another 3 yrs. Of lost earnings and maybe another three more of a psychologist saying how stupid you are they both have no idea what you need she needs to go riding in the sunset with her lose and you need to realize who was in power when they made over a 100 million dollars in profit when you got a pathetic amount that a 40 hr' at minimum wage would have got in a week. See the problem yet? I'll make it simple. Friends of Doyon are for fools that like laking company policy I'd donate then the ashes it made my fire when I put it there. The sites all about them 100 percent of the time need a more real work site instead of have her useless music crash your system. Or idiotic misstatement's that she has against you? I went to a mind bender I don't think she cares what you think she's right your wrong. I made a site that leaves everything open. Unlike Feinds of Doyon I made it with everyone in mind not just what I wanted in the board. (which was not many.) Owin well be a disappointment the 5 yr. average dividend well still be there their expensive trips to casino will still go on at our expense the whole thing needs to pay all use the going stock price a total dilution of the company at 20000 shareholders divided by the total company worth would leave 16,000 around that per share holder then make the whole company start again. All over make a real vote to everything we care about. Stop all unreal expectations for the money in the stock market and make money the old fashion way make the rig and refinery that makes everything possible the oil is useless if it just oil.
