NAPAHE serves presidential assistants (PAs) and other professionals supporting higher education leaders and strengthens our profession through programming, networking, and professional development opportunities that address the broad range of roles fulfilled by our members in service to presidential leadership and those who support higher education's senior leaders. In addition to information generally available to the public, we have a wealth of information available to our members.

NAPAHE Featured Testimonial
I first heard about NAPAHE from a now retired President EA in 2019. After attending the NAPAHE conference in 2021 and then serving on the 2022 Conference Planning Committee, I knew I wanted to try to get my fellow EAs at our System colleges involved, so they could benefit from everything NAPAHE has to offer. I held a virtual "Brown Bag Lunch" meeting, inviting all EAs in our system to attend. I shared things I had learned at the two NAPAHE conferences and asked others to send in questions or topics they wanted to discuss. In 2022, I had the Presidential EAs for eight of our 13 community colleges join with me.
To other systems that are considering joining NAPAHE: take advantage of everything offered by NAPAHE from the annual conference to the Peer Mentor program to the webinars to the message board of questions and answers.
