TMA began with seven U.S. chapters in what is now the backbone of the organization. Within five years, it added its first Canadian chapters, but took five more years to expand overseas. In its 15th year, amid unprecedented interest from outside North America, the TMA board made a commitment to disciplined international growth and added provisional chapters in Australia and France. In five more years, the reach of TMA is likely to widen across the globe. In the meantime, established chapters continue to deliver what members have said are their most valuable benefits: local education and networking programs. Arizona Arizona received the 2003 “Most Improved Chapter” award for doubling its membership to 118, increasing meeting attendance, and gaining press coverage. Its first member directory was widely distributed and resulted in 22 new members.

Atlanta The Atlanta Chapter’s golf tournament and barbecue is a major networking event each year.

Carolinas This 158-member chapter continued to grow and develop new leaders by emphasizing participation in international meetings and monthly conference calls.
