We firmly believe that the ultimate experts on how to build strong, healthy communities are not found in the conference rooms of think tanks or the podiums of conferences.

OUR TEAM

They are found among the people in our communities, who are rich in ideas, experience, and local knowledge. BAMA puts power and resources in the hands of those who already hold the solutions.

Our local and International Boards ensure funding and support.
