BBRSDA board president resigns
Robert Heyano, president of the Bristol Bay Regional Seafood Development Association, has resigned from the board of directors.
The official announcement doesn't offer a word of explanation.
The timing seems odd, as the organization is in the midst of a mail-in election to fill two other board seats.
Heyano's term wasn't due to end until 2016. He's a Dillingham resident and owner of the F/V Lady Mindy.
