Why MALA Membership?

MALA:   

• Facilitates bi-weekly Communication Calls: Provides opportunities for participants to share information about regulatory challenges, legislation, and other issues impacting jurisdictions. 

• Convenes a yearly conference and online webinars: For the past two years, we have conducted online conferences, introducing our members to innovation, hot-button topics, and more. We hope to meet in-person soon.

Alcohol regulators, liquor boards, and their support staff share ideas and make the industry safer and better. Membership provides opportunities for you to network and collaborate with your colleagues across the industry. 

MALA conducts surveys among its members on alcohol trade practices, fake IDs, server training, alcohol enforcement, and legislative agendas. Gain access to these surveys once you become a MALA member.  Why re-invent the wheel? Our members have created presentations and other adaptable training tools which can be accessed on our Members-only page.

Alcohol licensing practices vary from community-to-community, and we can learn from each other as we navigate the nuances of the law. MALA provides a platform to talk about legislative agendas and how they may impact the way we do business.

MALA provides a platform to communicate with alcohol regulators across the state. That's a win-win if you're looking to stay informed and grow your business in Maryland.
