President's Message
Dear APPNA Family:
Let me start this New Year by wishing you and your family Happy Holidays!  It is my honor and privilege to serve as your President for 2014.  As always, I deeply appreciate your trust and support throughout my tenure with APPNA.  I look forward to working with you through the remainder of this year with the help and support of the Executive Committee of 2014.

In this way, it will remain complimentary to APPNA rather than an offshoot.  The goal is to raise funds which will help promote healthcare and education in Pakistan and the United States.
Another important item during the meeting was a remarkable pledge by Mr. Kumar Zaman from Georgia for the sum of $1,000,000 for the development of an APPNA medical school in the United States.  Although it is a tedious process, we are planning to create a committee to start moving forward.  One million dollars may be a very small amount of money for a medical school but everything starts small and grows to become a real dream.  We heard a very good presentation f
