Help Shape Georgia’s Mineral Industry

Join a GMA Committee

So much of what we do at GMA occurs in our various committees. From planning association meetings throughout the year to monitoring certain legislative or regulatory areas, our committees are a great place to help guide and protect the future of our industry and to meet and work closely with other GMA members.

Committee membership is open to all GMA members at every membership level. We encourage all of our members to consider taking an active role in GMA to help protect and grow our industry.
