It was my honor to represent Alderson Broaddus and I’m so grateful for the opportunity PAEA provided for me to learn more about the hard work PA educators and directors do. Being in Washington DC & getting to visit Capitol Hill to advocate for PA education was an additionally rewarding experience I will never forget. Thank Mr. Moore & Mrs. Leach for attending my presentation & being so supportive!

A great asset to health care right from the start....keep up the good works!👏

Congratulations Melanie!! I’m sorry I missed you at the forum but didn’t know you were there. Keep up the great work!
