Watch this important video from GMA CEO & Executive Director Larry Hanson as he breaks down the risks of unchecked municipal liability and the urgent need for legislative solutions to protect taxpayers and essential city services. Unchecked liability threatens the financial stability of our cities and the services our communities rely on every day. Tort reform is critical to ensuring municipalities can continue to operate effectively without the burden of excessive claims.

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.
