Massachusetts Municipal Association Revenue and Competitors

For 40 years, the Massachusetts Municipal Association has been bringing municipal officials together to articulate a clear and united municipal message, to develop and advocate for unified policies, and to share information and work together to increase the efficiency and effectiveness of municipal service delivery. In short, the MMA is the voice of cities and towns in Massachusetts. The MMA is a private, nonpartisan, nonprofit organization of cities and towns governed by a 35-member Board of Directors composed of municipal officials from across the state. The organization’s goals include public policy advocacy, membership education, intergovernmental relations, services to cities and towns, public awareness, and unity. The MMA serves as an advocate for its members before the Massachusetts Legislature, the executive branch, regulatory bodies and the courts. The association develops and pursues a municipal policy that meets present and future needs of the state’s communities.

The MMA’s Annual Meeting & Trade Show in January is the largest annual gathering of municipal officials in New England.
