What is a Private Member Association (PMA)?
A PMA is created by and exists upon the contract authority and power that people have reserved for themselves. Private membership associations exist under many different titles including PMA, Private Education Association, Private Ministerial Association, Private Health Association, Private Social Club, Private Drinking Club, and many more. PMA members are free to exchange any information whatsoever on any topic they choose and can speak or write about, listen to, or read any information, use or obtain any information, product, or service on any terms agreeable to any member who chooses to provide that information, product, or service within the private membership association. PMAs are under no general lawful/legal obligation to recognize any statutory title of public competency, education or training (licensed persons/experts). Public law, regulations and internal rules of administrative agencies that regulate the public, do not generally reach a PMA because they would impair, impede, obstruct or defeat the PMA members’ ability to discuss, hear, read or speak about, print, obtain and use things which may be prohibited to be disclosed to or used by the public unless the private membership association commits a nefarious act which means some form of human rights violation or evil act against another human.
