Our Mission
PGAMA’s mission is to communicate, advocate and educate on behalf of our members and our industry. Additionally, the association offers many occasions throughout the year to network with fellow members, suppliers, and guests at events such as Cocktails and Connections, Golf Outings, and the Annual Excellence in Print Awards Banquet.

PGAMA also offers members many options to save money through a robust Group Buying Program and Exclusive Member Benefit services.
