About PGCMA

Prince George’s County Municipal Association (PGCMA) is an association of Prince George’s County elected and appointed municipal leaders working together to benefit the residents of our 27 municipalities, Prince George’s County, and the State of Maryland.

Chapters are governed by bylaws approved and recognized by the Board of Directors. Chapter membership is open to all League member municipalities within the chapter area.
