Georgia

ANPA Georgia is a Chapter that remains active both locally and internationally. We currently have a 3-member executive after our former PRO relocated to Dallas and is now a member of the North Texas Chapter. Several Chapter members continue to participate on the national front through various committees as well as executively.

What have we been up to during the Pandemic? The last couple of years have been embraced with numerous firsts. We were innovative in terms of being able to execute several virtual activities. Our Chapter engineered a robust COVID19 drive to financially assist some local Nigerian families with rent, utilities and food. We conducted a virtual 5K Run-walk/10k bike race and proceeds of over $1500 was donated to the Atlanta Community Food Bank.

We participated in a Virtual Career Day at a Georgia Elementary school and later held a “Back to School” drive to benefit the school. We initiated a Mentorship program that focuses on assisting college students in getting ready for their post bachelorette phase and have been able to write letters of recommendations for some our mentees who have since then been accepted to graduate/medical schools.Our mentorship program is also available to physicians who are seeking mentorship in starting their own medical practices.
