Patricia MacDonald

  • Executive Director

Patricia currently serves as the Executive Director of the Bristol Bay Housing Authority. She served as President of the Healy Lake Traditional Council. She is an active member of the Upper Tanana Fish & Game Advisory Board. Patricia served for a combined six years on the boards of Advocates for Victims of Violence and on the Interior Alaska Center for Non-Violent Living. Patricia is the daughter of Rose Ruth Woods from Healy Lake, and the granddaughter of the late Lena & Moses Thomas of Healy Lake and Tanacross, and Alfred Woods “Gootsie” from Rampart, and the granddaughter of the late Adeline Evans and Harold Woods of Rampart.

Patricia grew up with her mother serving on boards in the Upper Tanana, and from an early age was sitting in meetings listening to her elders. She was raised knowing that one day it would be her responsibility to serve her people.

Patricia has a background in Human Resources and has proudly worked for Doyon, Limited, Southcentral Foundation, and Alaska Native Tribal Health Consortium. She is a CDL Truck Driver and most recently worked on the North Slope of Alaska as a fuel truck driver. Patricia’s proudest accomplishment is her family: her husband Jason, their seven children, and her five grandchildren. She believes family to be both her foundation and her legacy; it is for them, and the next generation, that she wants to make a difference.
