Institutional Colleague --
Institutional Colleague membership is an ideal choice for PA programs that are not yet accredited but wish to receive benefits and participate in PAEA activities. This category provides faculty and staff of the institution with many of the same benefits as those in full-member programs. The following membership benefits are not available to Institutional Colleague members: voting rights at business meetings, voting rights for PAEA officers, serving as PAEA committee chairs, and participation in CASPA. Institutional Colleague membership can be readily converted to full membership as soon as the program receives its accreditation.
