What is a Private Member Association?
Why we’re structured as a PMA and what that means for you
Understanding Private Member Associations
What is a PMA?
A Private Member Association is a voluntary association of people who come together to share knowledge, resources, and support. It’s different from a business. It’s different from a government agency. It’s a private organization where members have rights and responsibilities.
Why PMAs Matter
Private Member Associations are protected by the First Amendment. The right to associate with like-minded people is a fundamental constitutional right. When you join a PMA, you’re exercising that right. You’re joining a community of people who share your values and your goals.
How Postal Court is Structured
Postal Court Education Trust is organized as a Private Member Association. When you join, you become a member of the association. You’re not a customer. You’re not a client. You’re a member of a community dedicated to constitutional principles and criminal defendant rights.
Why We’re a PMA

Member Control
