| 摘要： | Over the past decade the Geosynthetic Materials Association (GMA) has grown by leaps and bounds, establishing itself as a leading geosynthetics organization in the areas of education, technical support and government relations. GMAs membership has nearly doubled since 2005; GMA-supported educational conferences have attracted more than 25,000 attendees; and GMAs lobbying efforts have reached 24 states and hundreds of elected officials, resulting in the inclusion of geosynthetics language in multiple infrastructure bills. The most recent is the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) of 2022, created by a bipartisan coalition and signed by President Biden. The activities are critical in achieving GMAs mission of advancing the industry together and growing our members' businesses. Since 2005, GMAs membership has risen to 63 companies. Members represent all facets of the industry, especially manufacturers and distributors of geosynthetic products. GMA members create tens of thousands of jobs and billions of dollars in revenue each year. Membership consists of three levels: executive council, general and distributor. Companies that join GMA at one of these levels have the opportunity for their employees to participate in a wide variety of educational offerings, government relations activities, technical focus groups and conferences. Employees of member companies gain access to unique opportunities that allow them to work with fellow members to help grow the geosynthetics market and, at the same time, increase their companies' piece of the pie. |
