The Posse National Alumni Advisory Council

The Posse National Alumni Advisory Council (PNAAC) is comprised of 10 Alumni representing all Posse sites. PNAAC works to engage Alumni, further relationships between Alumni and the Foundation, provide continued leadership and professional development opportunities, and encourage philanthropy, leadership, and networking within the Alumni community.

Posse’s work with Alumni and the vision of PNAAC is to build lifelong relationships between Scholars, Alumni and the Foundation itself. PNAAC is a non-governing body, and each year will be comprised of 10-12 Alumni Representatives from all Posse sites.
