Posse National Alumni Advisory Council

Posse National Alumni Advisory Council

"PNAAC is hugely helpful. They ground the board discussions in actual lived experience."

Tamara Wilds Lawson, Former Posse D.C. Director

The Posse National Alumni Advisory Council works to build lifelong relationships between Scholars, alumni and the Foundation by providing leadership and professional development opportunities and encouraging philanthropy, leadership, and networking within the alumni community.

PNAAC is a non-governing body, and each year comprises alumni representatives from each Posse site and program.

Representatives serve as members of their local Posse advisory boards and contribute to the development of an annual strategic plan for alumni initiatives. PNAAC works to create local and national opportunities for collaboration and networking.
