The Professional Members Association (PMA) represents the collective interests of its members before Georgia’s General Assembly, state agencies, and regulatory bodies. We advocate for policies that strengthen organizations across the state and help our members serve their missions with confidence.
Through consistent engagement, policy analysis, and public testimony, PMA ensures that state lawmakers understand the impact of proposed legislation on our members and the industries they support. Our role is not just to monitor legislation—but to shape it in a way that reflects the real-world needs of those we represent.
