Dear Shareholders ,
Spring has arrived , bringing more daylight and warmer weather . I hope you ’ re enjoying this season ’ s sense of renewal and the chance to spend more time outdoors . At NANA , this time of year allows us to reflect on the progress we ’ ve made and the opportunities that lie ahead for our corporation and our shareholders .
The focus of our team remains – advancing opportunities that drive meaningful benefits for our shareholders . From education and employment initiatives to in-region programs and strategic business ventures spanning across the globe , our
|
priority is to create tangible outcomes that strengthen our communities and align with our shared cultural values .
A clear highlight of this issue is our Annual Meeting of Shareholders that will take place in Shungnak on Saturday , March 22 , 2025 . The team at NANA is busy preparing for this exciting and informative event . Each year , our annual meeting provides an important opportunity for shareholders to engage with our corporation and underscores the importance of shareholder voices in shaping NANA ’ s future . By participating – whether through voting , submitting questions , or observing the meeting – you actively contribute to the
|
strength of our corporation and its ability to reflect shareholder priorities . I strongly encourage all shareholders to take part in our annual meeting .

We are excited to bring you updates from one of our newest business ventures , Qavvik Air , on page five .
