Huna Totem Promotes Director of Sustainability
Huna Totem Corporation named Erica Drahozal as its new Director of Sustainability. In this newly created position, Drahozal is responsible for environmental, health, and safety policies and procedures across the entire village corporation.
Drahozal performed a similar role for Huna Totem’s cruise destination Icy Strait Point (ISP). For five years, she played a key role in advancing public health policies, workplace safety, and environmental conservation initiatives. Before joining ISP, she served as the health, safety, and environmental officer for Norwegian Cruise Line’s private island destination Harvest Caye in Belize. In that role, she built a highly regarded environmental safety program and managed public health programs, developed safety training, and collaborated with the Belizean government to protect sea turtles, manatees, and other wildlife.
“Erica’s leadership and deep understanding of sustainability in the tourism sector make her an invaluable part of our growing team,” says Huna Totem CEO and President Russell Dick. “Her work at ISP, coupled with her extensive experience and passion for environmental stewardship and community well-being, will undoubtedly help us further our mission of developing responsible tourism opportunities that honor our cultural values and create lasting benefits for the communities we serve.”
Beyond her civilian career, Drahozal served in a civil affairs brigade for the US Army. She supported military personnel management and deployment operations in Djibouti, strengthening her skills in crisis response, emergency planning, and leadership.
