My name is Brenda L. Tyone, and I have served on the CRNA Board of Directors before and I have no problem voicing my opinion, I am alcohol & drug free. I believe everyone should be treated fair & equally when they come to CRNA for services.

My name is Tonilee Jackson – Goodlataw, I am from the Native VIllage of Kluti-Kaah, my Grandparents were; Oscar Craig, Mary & Tony Jackson, I was born and raised in Copper Center, and have 2 living children, I have been raising my blessing, Carmelo, since he was 2 weeks old. He currently is 14 years old; I call my Grandchildren “My Blessings”

I have served on the following boards throughout the years: CRNA, Ahtna Inc., CRBRHA, NVKK, RuralCAP, State of Alaska Alcohol Beverage Control Board, along with their committees; Policy, Subsistence, Finance, and Subsidiary Boards.

I graduated from UAF with a Certificate in Rural Human Services and graduated from UAA with an AA Degree in Social Services.

I have worked in the past for Ahtna, Inc., & Subsidiaries, CRNA, CRBRHA, NVKK, State of Alaska in which I held different positions from; Receptionist, Community Health Aide, Director of Behavioral Health, Social Services, Community Development, Acting CEO, Elders Coordinator, Housing Manager, Tribal Administrator / Bookkeeping, Emergency Fire Fighter, Home Care Coordinator, Subsistence Intake, Labor and Flagging.

I was taught and raised to respect our Elders, our culture & subsistence way of life, I feel it is important to bring issues with solutions to help address problems that affect our communities. We cannot address the issues if we do not hear about them, I strongly believe we all can find solutions, by working together to be positive and healthy. Teaching our youth our history and culture, the importance of education, including mentoring them into the future leaders for our non-profit and for profit boards in our region. Investing in our Youth and teaching them to respect their culture and our lands.

My name is Charlene Nollner and my parents are Virginia Gene of Gakona and Nelson John of Mentasta. My grandparents are Buster and Alice Gene and Fred Sr. and Katie John. I have been married for twenty years and have two children. We have recently adopted our two grandchildren. I obtained my bachelor’s degree from UAF in 2015 and my master’s degree in 2017 from UAS. I have been employed by my tribe since 2003 as the Tribal Administrator.
Prior to serving as the President of CRNA in 2017 I served as the Gakona Village Director since 2006. When I first got on the board, we only had health aides and was in the old building. Since then we have grown massively and quickly with primary care, pharmacy, chiropractic, wellness services and a youth development department. I look forward to working harmoniously with the other board members and our CEO as we continue to grow CRNA services. Thank you for your prayers and support.
