Emily Edenshaw, EMBA

With over 10 years of experience in the nonprofit sector, I am passionate about promoting and preserving the rich cultural heritage of Alaska Native people. As the President and CEO of the Alaska Native Heritage Center (ANHC), I lead a team of dedicated professionals who work to educate, engage, and empower our diverse community through cultural programs, events, and exhibits. I also oversee the strategic planning, fundraising, and operations of the organization, ensuring its financial sustainability and alignment with its mission and values. Prior to joining ANHC, I was the Director of Business & Economic Development at the Central Council Tlingit Haida, where I developed and implemented initiatives to support the economic growth and well-being of our tribal citizens. I am a current PhD student through the Indigenous Studies at the University of Alaska Fairbanks. I also hold an Executive MBA from Alaska Pacific University, and a BA in Communication from the University of Alaska Anchorage. I have multiple skills in marketing communications, social networking, and strategic communications, which I use to enhance the visibility and impact of ANHC and its partners. I am proud to be an indigenous leader and scholar who brings a unique perspective and expertise to the nonprofit sector.
