Are you at #PAA2025?

Come see us during the Welcome Mixer!

We’re at Booth 213 in the Liberty Ballroom, Thu., 4/10, 6-9 PM.

ALT Text Visual has three main parts:

Top Banner (left to right): Green-tinted image of an older Black woman seated outdoors, and a younger Black male leans in from behind her. They are holding hands and smiling at each other; NHATS & NSOC logos occupy the center of the banner; lastly, a purple-tinted image of an older White woman, also seated outside, holding a cane, and smiling toward the viewer.
To the left, navy box with maize yellow lettering, “Are you at PAA 2025? Come see at Booth 213 in the Liberty Ballroom, Fri. 4/11, 8 AM-5:15 PM.”
To the right, on a field of white, a map of the location with a red circle around the booth along with an arrow and words indicating “We’re here!”
