Private Members Association
What is a Private Members Association (PMA?)
PMAs are formed by like minded people coming together to create a group for a purpose.
​
PMAs have a constitution which is divorced from the world of corporations (click here to read ours).
​
For a PMA to be successful it needs members to be actively involved in its creation and growth by primarily looking to enhance the group for everyone rather than being focused solely on their own needs.
​
PMA members are responsible and accountable for their actions rather than the association.
