The DE&I Committee coordinates activities related to increasing the overall diversity of PAA’s membership, and to ensure PAA is an inclusive organization with programming to meet the needs of our diverse stakeholder community. This is a high-engaging committee, seeking members to contribute content, be comfortable with uncomfortable conversations, and looking to increase awareness and advocacy of DE&I within our member companies. |

We welcome anyone who works as a trainer or education director/coordinator for a management company/third party supplier partner or anyone who routinely seeks or develops educational programs for staff members, such as human resource personnel.

Volunteer assistance and instructor participation will be expected at various times throughout service on this committee. Subcommittees may be formed. |

Committee members follow legislative issues in order to recommend policies and actions for the Association and assist in lobbying efforts where needed. The Committee makes recommendations regarding appropriate PAC expenditures. Committee members are also contacted via email for their thoughts and comments on issues as the need arises. Members are strongly encouraged to attend the annual NAA Advocate conference in March and the PAA Statewide Conference in May. The committee meets six times a year. |

The PAA PAC committee is a dedicated group formed to advance, fundraise, and champion the overall well-being of the Political Action Committee. The committee's primary goal is to raise funds to support candidates that align with the values and goals of the multifamily industry. This committee is for those with a vested interest in the PAC and minimum $100 donation is required to be part of this committee. |

Committee members are a group of multifamily industry supplier members who work with Property Management Companies in the state of PA to provide goods and services. The PAA works with the PSC to promote their services in the industry. As a supplier member of PAA you are automatically a member of the PSC. |

2025 Advisory Councils
Pittsburgh, State College, Lehigh Valley, Harrisburg, and Philadelphia
Advisory councils have been set up at each of our locations in the state to help with advising the state board on items that may need to be implemented locally from an education and event standpoint. Each advisory council is made up of a set number of members who meets once a quarter in the local area. There are no elected leaders for the councils. The local advisory councils are a great way to get involved and start the process of one day becoming a PAA Board Member.
If you are interested in learning more about the Advisory Councils, please contact Ashley Porrini at aporrini@paahq.com.

PAA is the trusted, preeminent resource for all stakeholders and partners through advocacy, education, and collaboration. For more information, please visit www.paahq.com or contact PAA at info@paahq.com.
PAA is pleased to announce Project HOME has been named as the Association’s official charity. Through PAA’s Helping Hands Committee, PAA will organize and hold various fundraising activities throughout the year to partner with Project HOME. All net proceeds will be donated to Project HOME. “We wanted to find a partner charity organization that had a natural synergy with PAA. As a statewide association whose members provide quality rental homes to Pennsylvania residents, finding a partner that focused on housing made sense,” stated Dan Berger, PAA President. Project HOME has worked for over 30 years to end chronic street homelessness and alleviate poverty in Philadelphia. PAA is recognized as the trusted association for rental home owners and suppliers in the multifamily industry. Project HOME is a national model for other community organizations to end the cycle of homelessness and poverty. PAA and Project HOME are excited about this new partnership and continue to explore future collaborations to help residents in Philadelphia and throughout the state.
A fund has been set up in the name, Dan Berger, (PAA 2020-2021 President and President of Berger Rental Communities) at Project HOME.
Let's keep paying it forward...
