PFA Board
The PFA Board is made up of a team of parent members who serve as the governing council of the Parents and Family Association. The Board is an advocate for, and engages with, the parents and families of UA students. The Board plans PFA events, assists in developing communications for parents and families, and are ambassadors of the University.
The PFA Board meets the first Wednesday of every month in Simmons Hall.
