PAEA Board of Directors Call for Nominations Now Open
We encourage members who want to serve PA education at the highest level to consider running for the 2025 PAEA Board of Directors. Three open positions are available: President Elect, Treasurer, and one Director at Large.
PAEA’s mission is advancing excellence in PA education through leadership, scholarship, equity, and inclusion. The Board is responsible for determining the strategies that help PAEA enact the mission and purpose of the organization in real-time. Additionally, the Board oversees strategic and organizational planning, ensures strong fiduciary oversight and financial management, approves resource development, monitors PAEA’s programs and services, evaluates the performance of the CEO, enhances PAEA’s public image, and assesses its own performance as the governing body of PAEA.
As a member of the Board of Directors, you will have the opportunity to help the Association chart its course in a changing world by bringing your insight and experience to bear on the major issues in PA education and the profession.
