Share these posts on your social media channels to amplify the PAs Go Beyond message. Feel free to modify any of the following messages to align with your experience.

Request a Proclamation

PA Week is the perfect opportunity to ask employers, city councils, state representatives, and even members of Congress to issue a proclamation to honor and recognize the contributions of the PA workforce in your practice, facility, state, or community. To help your organization secure a proclamation and maximize its impact, we’ve created a guide with a sample proclamation, template press release, and additional tips.

Publish an Op-Ed

One of the most effective ways to educate the public about the PA profession is by publishing an op-ed in a local newspaper or online publication. An op-ed is a brief commentary on a topic that has been in the news recently, or a topic that is familiar to most readers.

To help spread the word about PA Week, AAPA has included a template op-ed for your organization to submit to the local press. Once you have customized the op-ed, follow the tips provided to get it published.
