PCMA is governed by a Board of Directors. Board members include the Chairman of the Board, the Chairman-Elect, the Secretary-Treasurer, the Immediate-Past Chairman of the Board, Professional member Directors, and four Supplier Partner member Directors. The Board is the principal governing body of PCMA and monitors the progress of PCMA's plans for the future.

In addition, PCMA Committees and Task Forces work to support PCMA's goals and objectives. Volunteering for any of these groups is a great way to actively participate and to give back to PCMA. Thank you to past, current, and future volunteers for making PCMA your industry association.
