Advancing the industry through advocacy and education

摘要

Advocacy and education are key to the mission of the Geosynthetic Materials Association. GMA, through its state and local advocacy program, met with the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation in 2015 and, as a result, developed a strategic relationship that created the Waste Containment System Design seminars, which have provided education to more than 225 industry professionals. Advocacy efforts have also led to the education of state highway officials, regulatory agencies and politicians, resulting in greater acceptance of geosynthetic products in all facets of the country's infrastructure. GMA, thanks to its members and volunteers, is advancing the industry through advocacy and education.
