He's been a Trustee for the Alaska Permanent Fund, Regent at the University of Alaska and board member for the Alaska State Chamber of Commerce and the Resource Development Council of Alaska - serving the latter as president for five years, and is currently on the Board of Directors of the Alaska Railroad. Shively received the Bill Egan Award as the State Chamber's Alaskan of the Year in 2009, has been recognized by the Alaska Federation of Natives with its prestigious Denali Award, and has received Chuck Hawley Lifetime Achievement Award.
