The Doyon Shareholder Survey

Doyon is conducting a survey to hear directly from our shareholders and strengthen our future together. We invite shareholders to voice their opinions, ensuring their values and needs are heard. This survey is fully confidential and designed to empower our shareholders with honest communication. The findings will inform Doyon’s business initiatives, employment opportunities, descendant registration, shareholder benefits, and engagement priorities in the coming years.

  • It will be open through Friday, October 31, 2025.

Our Shared Future

Your input will help align our collective values as shareholders and as a united people. Doyon’s Board and leadership use shareholder priorities to make informed decisions about programs, benefits, and future opportunities. Past surveys have led to real change, with shareholder sentiment guiding our initiatives. This is your opportunity to influence the future we share. By taking a few minutes to record your perspective, you help to ensure our work reflects the needs of our shareholders.

The Doyon Shareholder Survey will present questions about a Descendant Registry. This is a record-keeping system used by many Alaska Native corporations to stay connected with the children, grandchildren, and future generations of current shareholders, providing better support and benefits for future generations as we grow together. A Descendant Registry allows us to engage and prepare the future leaders of our communities through internships, training, and educational support.
