The members of the TAPA Board of Directors are the stewards of TAPA and are responsible for reflecting the views and interests of all of our members. The Board also provides leadership, a shared vision and sense of mission for the Academy and is responsible for the fiscal health of the Academy. We encourage nominations of TAPA fellow members to ensure the leadership reflects the geographic distribution and gender distribution of our membership.

Please take a few minutes and think about whether you or someone you know would be a good choice for a leadership position with TAPA. If you do, please nominate them. A list of characteristics and attributes of the ideal candidate are listed below. Before nominating someone, please check with the member to make sure they are willing to accept the nomination. Self nominations are strongly encouraged!

The TAPA Board of Directors election ballots will be conducted via e-ballot. Voting will begin May 1 and will stay open for three weeks, ending on May 22. New officers and directors will assume office on July 1. We look forward to bringing you a full slate of candidates to continue providing support and advocacy for PAs in Tennessee and championing patient-centered quality care.
