Al Adams and the Sheaffer clan and their hangers-on led NANA for years, bludgeoning Alaska pols to do their bidding (including putting one of the brothers in charge of the Alaska National Guard). Willie Hensley staffed the NANA offices with nubile young female "proteges" who  could not be fired regardless of their incompetence or indifference.  The board of directors hired non-native managers to build the corporation into an economic force in the North West Arctic. Then Willie and company decided they could run it themselves. They got rid of the management staff and ignored every rule of good management including merging their social-welfare functions with their business functions and slowly descended into the kind of confused, directionless waste of resources that now exists. They have nobody to blame but their own shareholder directed corporate structure.
