History:

Piedmont Association of Physician Assistants was started by a steering committee of three individuals, Dean Minton, Gregg Stark, and Wayne VonSeggen. The first CME meeting was presented in February 1985. In August of that year the constitution was approved, and Gregg Stark was elected the first president of PAPA. We have been a regional chapter of NCAPA since 1985. We elect a new Board of Directors each year in November, to begin serving the following January.
