About PAPANA

Pakistani American Psychiatric Association of North America (PAPANA)

We are a non-profit, professional, and educational organization incorporated in the United States of America (USA), with no political, religious, or ethnic affiliations.

This Association has been active under different names for approximately 45 years, until 2013, when it was renamed PAPANA. In 2017, PAPANA's General Body approved its first Constitution and Bylaws, followed by tax-exempt status granted in 2018, allowing the collection of membership dues to support the Association's various professional activities.

PAPANA holds elections to elect its officers every year at its Annual Meeting, which is usually held in conjunction with the annual meeting of the American Psychiatric Association (APA).
