Summer Healing Trust and members of the PMA

Joining Summer Healing (PMA) can offer a variety of benefits, depending on the specific organization and its focus. Here are some common advantages:

1. Privacy and Autonomy: often operate outside the jurisdiction of government regulations that apply to public entities. This can provide members with greater privacy and more freedom in certain areas, like business practices or personal matters, without the level of scrutiny.

2. Networking Opportunities: PMAs serve as a platform for members to network with like-minded individuals or businesses, which can lead to valuable connections, partnerships, or collaborations.

3. Exclusive Access to Resources: offer members access to resources, education, or tools not readily available to the general public. This can include specialized training, legal advice, or industry-specific research.

4. Protections: Depending on the situation members may benefit from certain legal protections or unique structures that shield them from certain liabilities or regulatory frameworks that govern publicly-available businesses or organizations such as our equity and honour courses

5. Personalized Support: Smaller and more niche PMAs such as ours can offer extra support in times of financial hardship we often can provide more personalized support and guidance for members, offering tailored advice or assistance that addresses specific needs or goals.

6. Community and Support System: the PMA can offer a sense of community among its members, where individuals or organizations support one another and share common interests, values, or objectives.

7. Exclusive Events and Opportunities: the PMA often hosts exclusive events, conferences, or workshops for their members, which can provide opportunities for professional development or leisure activities that aren’t available to the general public.

8. Tailored Products or Services: the PMA negotiate group rates or special deals for their members on products and services, giving them access to things that may not be available elsewhere or may come at a discounted rate.

9. Control and Flexibility: As a member of a private association, there may be greater flexibility in terms of governance or decision-making. Members may have a more direct say in the way the association is run or influence policies affecting the group.
