Why consider a PMA?

You can legally practice your profession in a properly formed First, Fourth, Fifth, Ninth, Tenth and Fourteenth Amendment Private Membership Association. This means that your association business, and its members remain in the private domain and remain outside the jurisdiction of public law and public authority. In other words, a private mode or domain is protected and is a different domain than a public domain. The members of a private association have the right to contract with each other and conduct business activities, provided that those activities are not “of such a nature as to create a clear and present danger that they will bring about the substantive evils.”

Questions and Answers
(As supplied by the provider.)

What is a Certified PMA Power Advisor?

A Certified PMA Power Advisor is someone who has put in the time and effort to meet PMA Power's certification requirements. This includes pre-consideration, being pre-approved, and completing two courses, "A beginner's guide to starting your own PMA," and "The Official PMA Advisors Certification." PMA Power offers ongoing weekly training for its Certified Advisors to facilitate ongoing growth, and ellevating standards. Certified PMA Power Advisors are required to "walk the talk," by setting up, and owning a PMA of their own.

Please explain what is a PMA?

A PMA is a Private Membership Association. The various types of private associations operate in a manner as to keep private business and private activities a private contractual matter between the association and the members. Keep in mind that law says "no state can pass any law that impairs the obligation of contract". The association is founded upon the principle that we have an unalienable right to associate. The Supreme Court has always held that the right to associate is synonymous with the right to assemble. An association is simply a group of men and women collectively exercising their right to associate in private.

Are there different kinds of PMAs?

Private Associations are commonly known as Private Membership Association, Private Education Association, Private Health Association, Private Ministerial Association (Faith based organization or FBO), Private Drinking Club, Private Social Club, Private Fraternal Organization, Home Owner Association, and others. Regardless of the style of private association, they are all forms of a PMA since you technically don't have an association without members to associate anyway.

What are some examples of PMAs, and their protections?

Examples may be, Drinking is allowed inside “private clubs” in “dry counties” in states of The united States of America where the sale of alcohol to the public is restricted or illegal; smoking is allowed inside “cigar bars” or "private clubs" in states having public laws prohibiting smoking in government buildings and in buildings open to the public; What may be illegal activity under statutes or public law are completely lawful activities in private. Those private venues have the same protections as private activities within your own home and those activities are governed by your own rules, not public law.

Do all PMAs offer the same protections?

The short answer is No. The protections your association has the ability to invoke will be determined by your founding documents. Likewise, all of the protections that are waived or surrendered, either knowingly or unknowingly will be determined within your founding documents. Documents that are not properly drafted, such as statutory compliant documents, will forfeit some or all of your private domain protections. Unfortunately most associations are founded as "statutory compliant" all because of what the founders of the association didn't know at the time the association was formed. There is no more important decision you'll make than the preparation of your founding documents. That is where you will secure or give up your protections of the private domain.
