With the passage of the Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act (ANCSA) came strong networks between today’s established Alaska Native leaders.

Alaska Native Professional Association (ANPA) is here for today's up and coming leaders to help build the relationships, leadership and the community for a brighter tomorrow. Monthly lunch gatherings, held on the third Thursday of each month, offer a chance for active dialogue on current issues.

Electronic messaging to the ANPA egroup allows for immediate disbursement of key information or opportunities for all Alaskans. ANPA will implement an E-newsletter in the near future as an addition to the E-group messaging.

CURRENT NEWS:
ANPA was happy to sponsor the Mayoral Candidate Forum on Alaska Native issues on Monday, April 27, 2009 at Changepoint in Anchorage, AK. We worked with the following partners: ANCSA Regional Association, Get Out The Native Vote, First Alaskans Institute, Catholic Social Services, KNBA 90.3FM, Alaska Native Heritage Center and Alaska Native Justice Center.

We estimate the number of attendees to be between 150 and 200!
