About us
The Georgia Municipal Association is making a difference in the lives of Georgians by helping city officials tackle the important work they were elected to do. GMA provides training to city officials so they are better equipped to handle the complex issues facing city governments; advocates on behalf of cities at the state Capitol and in Washington, D.C.; and provides employee benefits to city employees so cities can hire and retain the best employees. Services - such as audits, meeting management, franchise fee negotiations, IT and debt collection - provided by GMA to cities allow cities to operate more efficiently and effectively. Created in 1933, the Georgia Municipal Association (GMA) is the only state organization that represents municipal governments in Georgia. Based in Atlanta, GMA is a voluntary, non-profit organization. GMA's membership currently totals 527 municipal governments, accounting for more than 99% of the state's municipal population. A 63-member Board of Directors, composed of city officials, governs GMA, with day-to-day operations carried out by the CEO & Executive Director and a 98 person staff.

The latest Georgia's Cities Magazine dives into Supreme Court decisions on social media use by public officials, and guess what - the rulings mirror GMA's long-standing social media training. GMA's position: If an employee is making statements related to their official duties, then they are not speaking as a private citizen, and their statements are not protected.
