On behalf of the NCAPA Nominating Committee
Nominations are now open for candidates seeking to be the NCAPA representatives to the American Academy of Physician Associates (AAPA) 2026 and 2027 House of Delegates (HOD).
What is the AAPA House of Delegates?
The AAPA HOD is the representative governance body for the national professional organization. It is comprised of delegates who represent chapters and other constituent groups.
How many delegates represent North Carolina?
The number of HOD representatives from NCAPA is based on the number of AAPA Fellow members in North Carolina. Currently, NCAPA elects 12 delegates, with the first 10 being seated delegates and the 10th and 11th serving as extra delegates that will rotate when a seated delegate leaves the floor. The delegates who are seated versus rotated are decided upon based on the number of votes individual candidates receive.
How do nominations work?
NCAPA Fellow members may self-declare or nominate another Fellow Member. (NCAPA Fellow members are PAs who are members of both AAPA and NCAPA.)
Nominations for Delegates are being accepted for a term of office that begins on July 1, 2025, and ends on June 30, 2027. Elected delegates will be required to attend the AAPA HOD meetings in 2026 and 2027, with travel, lodging, and meal expenses paid by NCAPA.
