The Pakistan Association of America (PAA) Michigan chapter informed the Consul General of Pakistan in Chicago that their new board for 2013-2014 had taken office in January 2013. PAA is the oldest registered Pakistani organization in America, serving the community since 1976 in a non-political manner. PAA plans to host a visit from the Pakistan consulate in Michigan in May 2013 and requested the Consul General provide available dates so they can notify the community. The letter introduced the new PAA executive team of President Saleem Shakoor, Vice President Dr. Sabiha Omar, and General Secretary Shandana Shakoor.
