We've thoroughly enjoyed our membership over the past 9 years and have walked away with countless great ideas from the interactions with members and outside experts. Whether you are a brand new startup or have done this for decades, the interaction with peers is invaluable as we navigate the new media landscape. PMA membership is the best investment we make every year!

I think of the PMA as my trusted advisors who truly understand all the challenges of our particular niche business. I love that I can email or call anyone in this organization with any questions and they will get back to me with their honest feedback. How do you set up your compensation structure? What’s your distribution cost? What do you think of your CRM software? No question is off limits. I don’t know any other organization like this.

From PMA, I have learned the standards of excellence in publishing and how to manage distribution. But most importantly, from a business perspective, my investment in PMA dues and conference fees has been returned many times over by the revenue-producing ideas I have learned via PMA.

I have been a member of the Parenting Media Association (PMA) for many years, and it's been an invaluable part of our professional journey. The PMA provides a unique blend of networking, professional development, and resources that are specifically tailored to those of us in the parenting media field. Through the association, I've formed meaningful connections with peers, enhanced my skills through targeted workshops and webinars, and gained access to cutting-edge insights into parenting trends and challenges. What stands out the most, however, is the sense of community and shared purpose among members, all dedicated to improving the lives of families through quality media. Joining PMA has been one of the best decisions for my career and personal growth.
-Brandon Foreman
CEO of Family Resource Group, Inc.
My team and I are very grateful for the many benefits that the Parenting Media Association has provided us through the years. Our media company is more profitable, reaches a bigger audience and is overall more successful because of all the training and “best ideas” that PMA offers. We highly recommend membership and active participation because it’s more than worth the effort, time and expense.
-Sarah Taylor
Publisher/President, MetroFamily, Oklahoma City
The Parenting Media Association has consistently been a valuable resource for me. Through PMA, I can network with fellow parenting publishers, get new revenue-generating ideas, and talk to experts in the publishing and media field. The ideas and tips I get from the yearly conference, access to other publishers, and training have increased revenue and readership over the years. I HIGHLY recommend becoming a member of PMA.

Joining the Parenting Media Association has truly been a game-changer for me and my company. Having a network of professionals who understand the parenting publishing business and provide a wealth of resources, support, and inspiration is something I could never have found without PMA. It pays for itself multiple times over and I’m grateful to have been a part of the group for many years.
-Andrea Breznay
Publisher of Northeast Ohio Parent
I’ve picked up more good ideas to grow our business from fellow PMA members than I can count. The culture of this group is one of sharing and support – unlike any other organization with which I’ve been involved. It’s not a stretch to say our business wouldn’t be where it is today if it weren’t for the PMA.
