Gloria O Neill

Keynote Speaker

Gloria O'Neill (LA1)

We are delighted that our keynote speaker this year is Gloria O'Neill, President/CEO at Cook Inlet Tribal Council, Inc. and a graduate of the first-ever Leadership Anchorage cohort! Gloria also won the Leadership Anchorage Alumni Award in 2021.

As CITC Board of Directors Chair Ivan Encelewski said in a 2021 FORUM magazine article on Gloria, “Ms. O’Neill is a once in a lifetime leader, rising far above anyone in her class. She shines above the rest by embracing new thinking, building people up, concentrating on relationships not just transactions, unifying and inspiring the team to collectively achieve their goals, and celebrating in the successes of all those around her. There is absolutely no goal or task that Gloria can’t achieve when she sets her mind to it."
