    Member Testimonials

    I have been a member with the Association for approx. 20 years. As a fuel transport vendor to the oil and convenience store industry; I can think of no other organization that includes virtually all my existing or potential customers as members. Every P&CMA function is an opportunity to interact with both friends and customers. The P&CMA has been a key to my business success; and I would highly recommend it to any vendors or associate members.

    — Pat Flynn

    Current industry events, historical data, State legislative advocacy, Networking opportunities, National Advocacy, Monthly Newsletter, Lifetime Friendships, BROTHERHOOD!!!! What are you waiting for >>>>> PCMA MEMBERSHIP is an absolute must have.

    — Tim Shirley

    My experience with PCMA has been one of mutual respect and benefit. While many association talk about partnering with businesses and vendors, PCMA takes this to heart and values long term relationship with their members and partners to help their members.

    — Keith Ellard

    It seems we are facing more serious issues today than ever before.... Compliance, Health Care, Tax Laws, Credit Requirements, the list goes on. PCMA gives us the opportunity to focus on the most pressing issue at hand and equips us with up to date information to help us make the best decision for ourselves, our business, and our employees. No doubt... it"s tough out here, and getting tougher every day... but it's easier when we all work together.

    — Jeff Brown

    I never really understood the importance of our Association until I became a board member. The constant barrage of legislative bills and state departments trying to raise taxes and fees on our industry is astounding. What has impressed me the most is how many of those taxes and fees that P&CMA has been able to fight off for its members. I am confident that every dollar put into our association is going to good use and is worth the expense.

    — David Collins

    As a silver sponsor associate member we have built lifetime relationships through our involvement with the PCMA and it is a key component in our marketing efforts in the Alabama retail market. There are often very important regulatory and/or legislative matters that effect our business and PCMA is always there to represent our business needs in a big way!

    — Zane Hood

    Our business is built on relationships...which would not be possible without active membership in the P&CMA.

    — Geoff Smith
