At the 2024 President’s Gala at Georgia Military College (GMC), GMC President Lieutenant General William B. Caldwell IV, USA (Ret.) announced this year’s recipient of the President’s Leadership Award is Rob Posner, founder and CEO of NewDay USA, and a longtime friend and supporter of the students and cadets at GMC.
The President’s Leadership Award honors an individual who exceeds expectations through extraordinary contributions of time, talent, and treasure to support the mission of Georgia Military College. It also recognizes those who embody purposedriven leadership, which Posner has demonstrated through his work with the NewDay USA Foundation.
The NewDay USA Foundation has been instrumental in transforming opportunities for students and cadets at GMC. As a key benefactor of the recently opened NewDay USA Center of Leadership, a first-of-its-kind, 754-seat facility at Georgia Military College, NewDay USA’s partnership with GMC has created a space that fosters leadership and learning for generations to come. Additionally, the NewDay USA Foundation contributes approximately $400,000 annually in scholarships to directly benefit almost 50 students at GMC Preparatory School (K-12 grades).
“We are so grateful to NewDay USA and Rob Posner for all they do for Georgia Military College, specifically our students at our Preparatory School,” said Caldwell. “We wanted to find a special way to honor Rob and the generosity he’s shared with GMC over the years, and we felt the President’s Leadership Award from our institution was a wonderful recognition of his commitment to our students.”
Since 2016, Posner has been an active supporter of the GMC community.
In the spirit of the values of GMC and NewDay USA, the NewDay USA Leadership Speaker Series at Georgia Military College brings worldclass speakers such as General James Mattis and Admiral Michael Mullen to inspire and educate GMC students and cadets, the broader community, and beyond.
Georgia Military College is deeply appreciative of Rob Posner’s partnership and his invaluable contributions, which have made a profound impact on the institution and its students.
