Congrats #TeamAkiak!
We are excited to announce our MP-JV, Akiak NS, LLC, was awarded as prime contractor on the NASA SEWP VI, a GWAC with unrestricted contract ceilings and value of $60B. Our JV is already CMMCL2 and C-SCRM certified. @DeptofWar - we are ready! #NASASEWP #SBA8a #NASA
📣 We are proud to announce that Thomas Carl (Yup'ik), Senior Broadband Technician, has received his professional certificate in Ironwork and Welding from the @WorksAlaska Partnership. We continue to broaden technical skills and training for those working hard to expand broadband access in the Yukon Kuskokwim Delta. A much-needed skillset to keep towers and satellites in place in the harsh weather conditions of Alaska!

So, if Harris and Walz win, Minnesota Lt. Governor Peggy Flanagan (White Earth Ojibwe) becomes the first Native American woman governor in U.S. history.

Tribal members and citizens of the Cherokee Nation, Chickasaw Nation, Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma, Muscogee Nation and very soon Seminole Nation can utilize their tribal membership to enjoy hunting and fishing in participating tribes’ treaty territories.

It was super cold on the rooftop, but worth the discussion!
@slham131, President and Kevin Hamer, CEO connecting with Copper River's Kevin McLaughlin, CEO and George Bernardy, President at the #National8a conference. So much to learn from another Alaska Tribal-owned family of companies using their #SBA8a certification and strategic partnerships to help Government meet their small business goals.
Day 1: It was nice bumping into Steven Roberts, US Air Force, Small Business Office - AK, at the @National8a Regional Conference in Anchorage. Steven is a fierce advocate for the small business community helping to access new solutions and technologies for the modern warfighter.
It is always great to reconnect with my colleagues who are in @ACTIAC Partner Fellows, Robert Sears, Director of N-Wave at @NOAA. Always something new to learn about Alaska broadband activities and apply it to Yupiit Nation! #ACTIACFellow #TribalBroadband
