CIRI Finds New President at Tribal Council

The search for a new President of Cook Inlet Region, Inc. (CIRI) found a winning candidate at one of its tribal affiliates. The corporation named Tabetha Toloff, a CIRI shareholder, to fill the position left vacant since October when Sarah Lukin stepped down after a year in the role.

Toloff most recently served as chief administrative officer for Cook Inlet Tribal Council, one of CIRI’s three designated tribal organizations. In her new position, she leads the corporation’s ANCSA mission and operations, spearheads stakeholder engagement, and provides strategic oversight of shareholder and descendant programs and corporate affairs departments. CIRI separated the president and CEO functions in 2023 upon the retirement of Sophie Minich, who had held both positions for a decade.
