Georgia Association of Community Care Providers

What Georgia Association of Community Care Providers does

Georgia Association of Community Care Providers (GACCP) is a nonprofit, member-driven industry association headquartered at One Glenleaf Parkway, Suite 1200, Atlanta, Georgia, that represents Home and Community Based Service (HCBS) providers operating in the state of Georgia. Its core constituency comprises individual aides, agencies, corporate providers, affiliates, and associate members engaged in delivering community-based long-term services and supports, with membership tiers ranging from Individual Aide to Corporate Provider levels. The association's central functional role is to serve as the unified voice, training infrastructure, and standards body for this provider community within the Georgia regulatory environment.

GACCP's product portfolio centers on the state-approved Personal Care Aide (PCA) Competency Test, a copyrighted certification instrument administered both online and at live events that validates workforce competency for HCBS direct-care roles. Beyond testing, the association runs a structured calendar of quarterly member conferences (e.g., 2026 Summer Meeting at Jekyll Island Club, Fall and Spring events), an Advocacy & Policy Resource Hub, member-only benefit programs, and a Political Action Committee supporting direct legislative advocacy through retained lobbyist Holli Gibbs of Stark Strategies. The technology stack is operationally lean: a Wild Apricot-powered membership portal handles dues processing, event registration, and member directories, while a dedicated online interface administers the PCA Test. Long-dated service partnerships — most notably workers' compensation coverage through Health Care Mutual (relationship dated 1992) and employment-law counsel through Constangy, Brooks, Smith & Prophete — are bundled into the membership offering to deepen provider engagement.

Revenue mechanics are characteristic of a regional nonprofit trade association: tiered annual membership dues form the recurring base, supplemented by PCA Test fees, quarterly conference registration (typically $270-$370 per attendee), and corporate sponsorship/exhibitor packages (typically $5,000-$15,000 per event). The board, composed of representatives from across roughly a dozen HCBS provider organizations, sets strategic direction, while core operations are run by a small staff led by an Association Director (Amanda Hammerli) and supported by an Association Coordinator (Ashley Vander Wyk). GACCP is governed as a 501(c)(6)-style entity whose economic value is captured by its members through advocacy outcomes, training access, and embedded service discounts rather than through profit distribution.
