PAA Affairs

Transition to New Format

As the world changes, so does PAA. With the launch of the new PAA website, and the influx of more virtual events and content, it is time for PAA Affairs to become a more timely and agile publication. Many of the functions of PAA Affairs are now being accomplished on the PAA website, including announcements, government affairs updates, conferences, and job postings. The remaining content, primarily long-form articles such as those in the current “Data Points” and “Perspectives” sections, will now be published as a blog. Coming Winter 2020!
