Welcome to Maryland Alcohol Licensing Association (MALA) – the business and trade association which helps alcohol regulators and others stay informed about laws, statutes, and best practices which govern the alcohol industry. The industry is ever-changing, and particularly during the challenging times we’re currently experiencing, it’s important to be kept up to date. Through MALA’s bi-weekly communication calls, conferences, and the resources you’ll find on our website, we help communities understand why statutes and practices are in place and how they help businesses operate within the parameters of the law.

Check back often for updates! Contact us if you have additional questions about alcohol compliance in Maryland.

Enjoy Responsibly,

Judy Hagner Tribute

It is with great sadness that MALA announces the passing of Judy Hagner, past-Executive Director of Anne Arundel County's Board of License Commissioners and MALA Board Member. Judy provided 48 years of service to her community as a dedicated servant to the Liquor Board, Licensees and Legislators. Committed to helping her community become a better and healthier place to live, work, and play, Judy also served as Board Member of the Anne Arundel County Partnership for Children, Youth & Families and Vice Chair of Substance Abuse & Prevention Education (SAPE) Committee. She was also Board Member, Vice President, and Equipment Manager of the Dunkirk Boys & Girls Club and served as Board Member and Vice President of the Northern High School Athletic Boosters Club.

Her knowledge, compassion, and commitment to keeping the community safe will always be remembered and missed.
