Georgia Municipal Association (GMA) is a nonprofit with a mission to influence the forces shaping Georgia’s cities and to provide leadership, tools, and services that assist municipal governments in becoming more innovative, effective, and responsive.
Paving the path to a brighter future for Georgia are the young and rising university students who plan to work in the local government sector. GMA understands the need for mentoring and real-world experience prior to taking flight. In partnership with Georgia State University, the University of Georgia, and Valdosta State University, GMA offers a Local Government Practicum for graduate students. Since program inception in 2007, a total of 110 graduate students have gained relevant knowledge and skills by providing research assistance to 68 cities in all corners of the state.
