Virginia PAs were well-represented by our delegates at the 2026 AAPA House of Delegates this past weekend in New Orleans. Their hard work directly affects change to AAPA policies. In addition to her responsibilities, Chief Delegate Kimberly Sapre also served on Reference Committee B. Josh Detrick also dedicated time to serving on the Standing Committee.

VAPA is thrilled to announce that Governor Spanberger signed VAPA’s priority legislation into law a few days ago. HB746 permits PAs who have three years of clinical experience to practice without a practice agreement. On behalf of Virginia’s PAs, thank you to the Governor, our patron Delegate Henson, and all the legislators who supported our legislation.
