Alaska Native Professional Association

posted Jun 10, 2009 1:06 PM by Robert Gransbury

David Nicolai provided information about ANPA to the group.  The following is an excerpt from their website:
 
The Alaska Native Professional Association (ANPA) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization formed six years ago (1998) when a group of young Alaska Natives living in Southcentral Alaska recognized the importance of building relationships, leadership and community involvement. The organization of ANPA ultimately became the vehicle of being “an opportunity to put our Native values in action by giving back through community involvement.” ANPA keeps its membership focused on its core purpose through invitation to actively participate in monthly gatherings, committee work groups and various other community-based initiatives.

ANPA is looking to help bring awareness to Alaska’s largest community to show there are Alaska Natives actively pursuing and demonstrating goodwill to improve overall community living and has goals of becoming a statewide association. Alaska Natives are still adjusting to “living in two worlds” and ANPA provides a Native sense of community amongst likeminded individuals. A large segment of the Alaska Native Leadership looks to our Association as folks who are stepping up to the plate and they are making sure ANPA has a seat at the table. ANPA takes this recognition extremely seriously and is working toward developing relevant programs to nurture and grow relationships across the community.
