PAA elects new CEC for 2026-2028 term

Business Recorder reported that the Pakistan Advertising Association (PAA) has released outcomes of its 2026 polls, held during the 11th Annual General Meeting in Karachi. A fresh 14-member Central Executive Committee (CEC) now covers the 2026 to 2028 term. Numan Nabi Ahmed leads the panel as Chairman, with Jawwad Humayun as Senior Vice Chairman and Nida Haider as Vice Chairperson.

Javed Qadeer Khan, Waqar Haideri and Usman Atique Butt will chair Zones A, B and C respectively, while Faheem Ahmed takes the finance secretary role. Seven other members complete the committee, including Ahmed Jamal Mir and Natasha Durrani. Earlier in the meeting, outgoing chairman Ahmed Kapadia briefed members on two years of initiatives, and they gave him a standing ovation for guiding the team that created PAA's new brand identity.

Numan Nabi Ahmed thanked members for their trust and said his approach rests on teamwork, relationships and learning from past experience. He proposed an Advisory Group to take forward the outgoing committee's work toward a stronger PAA with clear goals, and members approved it. Ahmed Kapadia will serve as Chairman Emeritus, joined by Aleem Durrani, Zeeshan Khan and Salman Mansur, and the new CEC must work closely alongside the group. Sub-committees are due to be formed soon, while zonal chairmen are expected to help grow membership and coordinate with agencies.
