ThePAC Excellence Gala may be sold out, but there’s still a lot happening around New Orleans this weekend. ⚜️

From networking mixers to brunches, community events, and service initiatives, AAPA weekend is bigger than one room.

If you’re in the city, here are a few events happening throughout the weekend where you can connect with other PA-Cs, students, and healthcare professionals.

Looking forward to a meaningful weekend of connection, collaboration, and community in New Orleans.

ThePAC is proud to endorse Brionna Palmer, PA-S2 and Queena Williams, PA-S2 in the 2026 AAPA Student Academy Board of Directors Elections.

Representation in leadership matters. The future of the PA profession depends on students who are willing to advocate, lead, and create space for voices and communities that have historically been underrepresented.

We are honored to support two emerging leaders committed to advancing diversity, outreach, collaboration, and meaningful impact within the profession.

Voting begins May 18, 2026.

Wishing both Brionna and Queena continued success throughout the election process.

As the CASPA cycle begins, it is important to understand the broader landscape shaping PA education.

Changes to federal loan classifications may create new financial barriers for aspiring PA students. These barriers do not impact all students equally, and they have the potential to influence diversity within the profession and access to care within our communities.

We will continue to educate, support, and advocate for future PAs every step of the way.

Because access to the profession shapes access to care.

Some leaders shape the future quietly. Their impact is felt in every student trained, every program strengthened, and every patient ultimately served.

ThePAC is proud to honor Dr. Sharon Luke, EdD, PA-C Emeritus, President & CEO of ARC-PA, as a 2026 Excellence Gala Honoree.

Through decades of service to PA education and accreditation, Dr. Luke has helped uphold the highest standards of quality, accountability, and progress across the profession. Her leadership reflects courage, vision, and a commitment to ensuring excellence remains the expectation.

At a time when commitments to inclusion are being tested, it is especially meaningful to recognize leaders who understood early on that academic excellence is strongest when opportunity is expanded.

Join us as we celebrate transformational leaders like Dr. Luke at the ThePAC Excellence Gala 2026 in New Orleans on May 16, 2026.

Tickets and event details available now via the link in bio.
