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.
