Posse's Annual Gala - An Evening of Stars

Being a supporter of Posse means believing in opportunity and equity for young people from all backgrounds; it means building a diverse leadership network for this country’s workforce. Join us on Wednesday, May 24, 2023 in New York City, as we celebrate the new Posse Arts Program, which seeks to create a diverse pipeline of leaders in the creative arts.
