​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​Grassroots Advocacy and Information Network

AAPA’s Grassroots Advocacy and Information Network (GAIN) is a nationwide network of PAs who are strengthening the future of the profession by building relationships with members of Congress and their staff. When advocacy opportunities arise, GAIN PAs jump to action. They reach out to their contacts in Congress and let them know how decisions made on Capitol Hill can affect patients and communities back home.

What is GAIN?

GAIN is a nationwide network of PAs who want to help patients and the profession by building relationships with members of Congress and their staff.
