Goldbelt selects interim president/CEO
One of the vice presidents of Goldbelt, Inc. has stepped into the shoes of retiring president and chief executive officer Gary Droubay.
Elliot Wimberly takes over as interim president/CEO while the Native corporation continues its search for a permanent replacement.
Wimberly is a senior vice president in charge of health sciences and information technology groups, a job that board members felt was a strength in holding this role. He began service as vice president of government services last May, then took on the additional position of vice president of Goldbelt Raven, one of the corporation’s 12 8(a) subsidiaries.
Goldbelt Chairman Del Cesar said Wimberly was selected to fill the temporary role because of his familiarity with Alaska operations and Native cultures, plus his solid business background.
Vice chairman Randy Wanamaker added he was also selected because he is knowledgeable about government contracting and company operations in general. He said it made sense for continuity’s sake to select one of Goldbelt’s vice presidents.
Wimberly is stationed in Herndon, Va. He will travel back and forth to Alaska as interim president but is expected to spend most of the time in Virginia.
Cesar also remarked that Wimberly’s background in Native firm leadership was a strong virtue for the job.
Before Goldbelt, Wimberly was president of Sitka’s Alaska Native Corporation, Shee Atika’. He was also vice president of corporate development and government relations for the Southern Ute Tribe in Durango, Colo., as well as vice president of business development and government relations for GF Private Equity Group.
He has more than 25 years of experience in government service, having retired from the U.S. intelligence community. His Master of Business Administration is from Friends University in Wichita, Kan. He also holds a bachelor’s degree in biology from Louisiana State University.
“I appreciate the opportunity to serve Goldbelt’s shareholders and I look forward to continuing to support the Board and working with the corporation’s employees,” Wimberly stated in a release. “As we move forward in this time of transition, I will continue to work towards strengthening our businesses and seeking new ways to provide services and opportunities for our shareholders.”
“That’s a good background on him,” Cesar said.

Mano Singham's Web Journal: Who am I?
--> ( Note: You are not currently on this blog's home page. To go there, click here .) June 16, 2011 Who am I?
In yesterday's post , I wrote about the fact that different parts of our bodies keep regenerating themselves periodically. This fact alone should make nonsense of the belief of some religious people that our bodies become physically reconstituted after death in the afterlife, because if so, the resurrected body of a person who died at the age of 70 would be unrecognizably grotesque, consisting of around 70 livers and 7 full skeletons, all surrounded by hundreds, maybe thousands, of pounds of skin.
But leaving aside that, there is an interesting question raised by this constant regeneration of the body and that is how we retain a sense of having a single identity over our full life spans even as individual parts of us get replaced periodically. The average age of the molecules in my body is around 7 to 10 years and yet I have the strong sense of continuity, that I am in some fundamental sense the same person that I was as a child, even though almost none of those molecules have stayed with me over that time. How is it that we retain a strong sense of permanence in our identity while being so transient in our bodies?
The answer may lie in the fact that our brain seems to be the most permanent of our organs, undergoing little or no regeneration. In the same article in the New York Times
The cerebral cortex is the thin sheet that forms the outer layer of the brain and is divided up into several zones that have different functional roles. If the cortex were removed and smoothed out to eliminate all the creases and folds, it would look like a dinner napkin. It is gray in color, the origin of its popular euphemism of 'gray matter'. The network of nerve cells in the brain (called neurons) determines how the brain functions.
While the brain seems to be the most enduring part of the body, even here there is variation. The cerebellum seems to contain non-neuronal cells that are close to the birth age (within three years or so) while the cerebral cortex (which is responsible for our cognitive capabilities and is thus most closely identified with our sense of self) has a slightly greater turnover of non-neuronal cells.
