The Georgia Medical Group Management Association

What The Georgia Medical Group Management Association does

The Georgia Medical Group Management Association (GMGMA) is a non-profit professional membership association founded in 1965 and incorporated in 1968, headquartered in Gainesville, Georgia. It serves medical practice managers, administrators, and executives across Georgia — from solo physician offices to large multi-specialty clinics, IPAs, and MSOs — providing educational programming, peer networking, legislative advocacy, and ACMPE certification support. GMGMA operates as the state affiliate of the national Medical Group Management Association (MGMA) and offers a $400 dual-membership bundle that combines state and national benefits.

GMGMA monetizes primarily through annual membership dues (Regular $150, Affiliate $600, Premier Affiliate $1,200, Student $25, plus a two-year Regular tier at $300) and a tiered business partner sponsorship program (Bronze $2,500 through Platinum $10,000) that grants exhibitor booths, logo placement, membership rosters, webinars, and conference speaking slots. Its core technology stack is association management software from YourMembership.com, which powers the gmgma.com website, member database, event registration, email marketing, member directory, and career center. The association runs an annual Spring Conference, a Fall Forum dedicated to legal issues, live and on-demand webinars, a members-only listserv, and a dedicated career board.

The organization operates five local affiliate chapters across Georgia (AAMGMA, CSRAMGMA, NGMGMA, SAMGMA, SGMGMA), each providing regional meetings and education. It maintains formal relationships with the Medical Association of Georgia (MAG) for legislative advocacy, with MAG Mutual Insurance and Privia Health as Platinum business partners, and with national MGMA for federal advocacy and certification programs. With 11-50 employees, GMGMA is a small, stable association whose strategic activity is maintenance-and-incremental rather than transformative.
