Laura Posada
President
Laura Posada is Co-Founder of The Jorge Posada Foundation. She began her career as a model and actress in the mid 1980s, a career which she continued during and after graduate school, and until Jorge Luis was born. As an attorney barred in both Puerto Rico and the US Federal Court, she also practiced law for a number of years, dealing mostly with bankruptcy cases. She married Jorge Posada, the Yankees' All-Star Catcher, in 1999, and had her second child, Paulina, in 2002.
During her tenure at the Posada Foundation, Laura has overseen the day-to-day operations of the organization. Understanding first-hand the emotional support parents of children with Craniosynostosis need, she created a Mentors Program. Her determination to generate awareness about the condition has resulted in a significant number of placements in magazines, newspapers, radio, as well as appearances in popular TV shows like ABC's Extreme Makeover: Home Edition and the Discovery Channel's American Chopper. She has also increased the number of grants given by the Foundation to craniofacial medical centers and service-related organizations by over 500 percent since its inception.
Dedicated in her mission to spread awareness about Craniosynostosis, Laura also serves on the Board of Directors of the National Foundation for Facial Reconstruction. Together with her husband, Laura received the 2006 Puerto Rican Family Foundation Excellence Award for their commitment to children, especially those affected by Craniosynostosis. In October 2007 she will receive the Commitment to Family Award from the Girls and Boys Town of New York.
Laura received both a Bachelor's Degree and a Law Degree from Loyola University in New Orleans, Louisiana.
