2021 Advisory Councils-
Pittsburgh, Harrisburg and Philadelphia

Advisory councils have been set up at each of our locations in the state to help with advising the state board of 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.
