Organizational Annual Sponsorship

Organizations and Institutions committed to supporting the mission of the Society are invited to become annual sponsors of our nonprofit, tax exempt organization.

List of Organizational Sponsors

As an annual sponsor a PA Educational Program is entitled to receive five full fellow memberships for the organizations affiliated faculty or staff; one of whom is to be designated as the organization's representative to the Society. As sponsored fellow members, your faculty or staff can hold office and participate fully in the Society's governance and policy making activities. Their names will be printed on the Society's online membership directory. The annual sponsor fee for a PA educational program or PA professional organization is $250. Since the normal fellow membership fee is $75 per person, this is a savings of $125 per organization.

As an annual sponsor a Student PA Organization is entitled to have each student enrolled in their program to become a member of the Society at a reduced fee. Additionally, one student per class is to be designated as the student organization's representative to the Society. Each student member's names will be printed on the Society's on-line membership directory. The annual sponsor fee for a student organization is $25. As an annual sponsor, students of the organization may join the Society for $10 rather than the normal (nonparticipating organizational) fee of $25 per student. Student membership is for two years or until the individual graduates.

As an annual sponsor a PA State Chapter, Specialty Group, or Caucus is entitled to receive full fellow memberships for the organizations affiliated officers or staff; one of whom is to be designated as the organization's representative to the Society. As sponsored fellow members, your officers or staff can hold office and participate fully in the Society's governance and policy making activities. Their names will be printed on the Society's online membership directory. The annual sponsor fee and number of "sponsored" memberships for a PA professional organization is based upon the size of the organization as shown below.

Annual sponsorships are open to corporations, other health professional organizations, institutions, philanthropic foundations and governmental agencies desirous of furthering the Society's purpose. The BOARD OF TRUSTEES approves sponsors who donate monies and services to the Society through one-time or continuous donations and who continue to pay annual sponsor dues. Dues, privileges and benefits of sponsors are approved by the BOARD OF TRUSTEES and may vary according to the sponsor's organizational mission.

Sixty cents of each dollar contributed is used to develop the special collection on the "Cultural History and Development of the Physician Assistant Profession" managed by the PA History Center and the Duke University Medical Center (DUMC) Archives. As an annual sponsor, your organization will receive recognition on selected printed materials, acknowledgement at meetings, and be listed and linked to your home pages on the Society's website. Additionally, your organization will have the right to be called an "Organizational Sponsor of the Society for the Preservation of Physician Assistant History."
