We Are a Legacy.

We Are a Legacy.

This is a text block

During Yulista’s 2021 Open House ceremony in Huntsville, I briefly mentioned Wernher Von Braun. His legacy is evident anywhere you go in Huntsville, AL. Von Braun and his teams led the critical development of rocket propulsion systems that put the first astronaut into space. His work eventually helped America win the race to the moon. The phrase, “for all mankind” was the rallying cry we needed to springboard into the future. What a legacy.

We live in a time where space operations and defense will soon intersect. Yulista is a key participant on both fronts. Von Braun and his teams showed us what is possible with passion, common purpose, and dedication. The work you do with Yulista builds off this foundation. You play a role in ensuring the freedom and security of this great nation remains intact. What you do matters.

Leaving a legacy looks different depending on the person and organization. In the context of Yulista, I envision a time in the future where we look back at our time and work here with a sense of pride and accomplishment. I believe we will say that, without a doubt, we left things better than we found them.

On behalf of our board of directors, our shareholders, and the entire executive team, I would like to thank you for everything you do. Because of you, 2021 was  another successful year. You serve with humility, dedication, purpose, and resolve.

I’d like to leave you with a quote from Ronald Reagan’s Inaugural Address in 1981:

“If we look to the answer as to why, for so many years, we achieved so much, prospered as no other people on Earth, it was because here, in this land, we unleashed the energy and individual genius of man to a greater extent than has ever been done before. Freedom and the dignity of the individual have been more available and assured here than in any other place on Earth. The price for this freedom at times has been high, but we have never been unwilling to pay that price.”

Team Yulista, you set the standard - not just in 2021 but every year. Thank you for that.

Josh Herren

President/CEO, Yulista

The momentum we have is striking. When you put it in the context of what's going on globally, to maintain a level of focus like that and the willingness to bound together as a team, has been fantastic.

Josh Herren

President/CEO Yulista

Seeing someone live a life of genuine, humble servanthood catches people’s attention. It’s noticeable because it’s so rare in a world crowded with pretense and ego.

Humble servant leadership is powerful. It elevates people and has a lasting impact on those it serves. It’s unusual enough when an individual possesses humble servant leadership. Imagine what it could do for a company.

it could be a game changer.

We have to lead through humble servant leadership. The responsibility we're given isn't for the glory of our own good... but to do good things for others.

ANDY GIGNILLIAT

President YAI and YIS

Introduction:

The world is full of productive and profitable companies. But, it’s rare to encounter a world-class, modern industry leader that genuinely anchors itself in ancient values like loyalty, allegiance, hard work, and honor. These values, and others like it, are the lifeblood of Yulista.

We’re leaders in our field. Leaders don’t leave people behind. Leaders stand with people. Leaders support and serve. That’s Yulista’s mission. We’re driven to innovate in order to preserve what matters most — People. Serving and supporting the success of people is the most important part of any worthwhile mission.

At Yulista, we’re a family of engineers, kitting clerks and mechanics. We’re village elders, summer interns, and school children with new backpacks. We’re veterans, moms, dads, volunteers, executives. Some of us are Alaskan and others are Appalachian; we represent the diversity of our country. Most of all we are determined to remain loyal, unpretentious, and united as we serve our customers.

You’ll find us giving our all to discover solutions, meet elite standards for quality, and act swiftly where needed, because every day, peacekeepers and warfighters need support to survive, voyagers and explorers need innovation to make the impossible–possible, and nations need partners to build bridges of goodwill where it’s in short supply.

We’re Yulista. And we’re Game Changers.

Who We Are

Since 2002, Yulista has been a trusted partner for mission ready clients around the world. We believe in the power of our people and our communities. Our greatest assets are the men and women who contribute, excel, and strive to make the impossible possible. We deliver results through our commitment to quality, innovation, and belief in the mission.

Our Vision

We are a forever company. A team connected to our past and committed to a future of enduring prosperity and inspiration for our Alaskan Native Shareholders.

Our Mission

Our mission is to serve people. We elevate the lives of our teams and shareholders while delivering value-added solutions and unparalleled customer experiences.

“Yulista has a brand, and a name, and a recognition with the DoD, NASA, and Special Ops communities, of doing that level of work, that they want to keep seeing in their hangars, day after day… Keeping the work that we have is one of the hardest things to do, and also one of the easiest things to do with you all backing our play every single day. Thank you.“

Yulista Cares:

Our team-led community service initiative delivered 1220 backpacks and school supplies across the entire nation in 2020. Over 500 backpacks were sent to Shareholders in Kwethiuk and Napakiak. Each backpack was filled to the brim with children’s school supplies.

For many families, this was a game changer.

The school principal was moved by the tears of families. Frequently, the parents in these areas don’t have work-from-home flexibility. They struggle to manage work and the kids’ schooling from home.

Yulista CARES also championed backpack deliveries in Alabama and to new locations across Hawaii, New Jersey and Texas this year. With many families recently laid-off, the backpacks helped more than ever.

 

When we couple leadership and loyalty together, it equals company success.

Cedric Council

Regional Operations Manager, YSS

Knowing the impact that those supplies make in the lives of the parents, students and teachers who receive them is truly satisfying.

Mary Muse

Head of the Yulista CARES campaign

Our Culture:

Twelve years after becoming our 49th state, our nation’s president signed the Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act to help protect the sacred connection between native Alaskans and the unspoiled wilderness. Heartbreaking lessons learned from the past prompted preserving their bond with the land while also providing prospects like education, electricity and modern means of transportation. As the Calista Corporation was born in 1971, the span of its untouched spaces and people revealed unique challenges. How could preservation and progress meet without one dominating the other? And how would Native Alaskans share in the prosperity and growth when the 58,000 square miles of land didn’t even have one paved road to connect the 56 villages?

Calista Corporation is owned by over 33,000 Yup’ik, Cup’ik and Athabascan Shareholders with ancestral ties to southwest Alaska.

To Team Yulista:

Thank you doesn’t express how incredibly powerful, inspirational, and capable you are. Our teams on the East Coast, across the high plains, down to Hawaii, and up to Alaska came to work with a quiet and professional disposition and carried a very potent stick. Adversity did not shake the foundations of who we are or throw us off our commitment to each other, our customers, and shareholders.

Along the way, we lost dear friends and co-workers. We said goodbye to Robin Anderson, Matthew Short, Danny Lee, Michael McIntosh, Daniel Gonzales, and Jeffrey Patterson. Employees are mourning the loss of parents, aunts and uncles, and siblings. Even as I write this, the nation just lost a decorated war hero and the father of our EVP, Brian Tachias.

For those we lost, our hearts sing “O Captain! My Captain! Rise up – for you the flag is flung.” We now carry on their memory eternal. In their honor, we salute to an unanswered roll call and now stand upon the shores they once did. We shall carry on their legacy with honor, dignity, kindness, and love.

2020 is a year none of us will forget. And still, again, we’ve hit record highs in revenue, profits, team members, and customer service.

As you look through the highlights in these pages, be proud of what you’ve accomplished. Stay humbled by the opportunity to serve such an incredible purpose. Hold gratitude for the customers that trust us to assist them in their missions.

You faced incredible adversity with resolve and focus. Like Teddy Roosevelt said when he was shot, “…it takes more than one bullet to kill a Bull Moose.”

Thank you for holding the line, Team Yulista.

Gratefully,

Joshua D. Herren
