Chapter Meetings

PASMA currently has two chapters, North and South. Each meets on a BI-monthly basis. Meetings are conducted at locations convenient to a majority of the membership. Regular meetings most often include a roundtable and a speaker presentation. The roundtable is an opportunity for all members to discuss their victories, needs and frustrations; this will help members to keep up-to-date on current events and topics, and reduce wasted research time. Speakers include Health Care Professionals, Emergency Planners, Specialists in Safety, Toxic Waste, Driver Training, Industrial Hygiene, etc.

South Chapter

PASMA South meets the 2nd Thursday of every odd-numbered month. Meetings are typically held at the California Joint Powers Authority, 8081 Moody Street, LA Palma, CA 90623. The meeting is free to PASMA members and $20 for guests and non-members. Continental breakfast is provided. For questions or additional information please contact Anna Levina at 213-278-2469 or info@pasmaonline.org with your RSVP (preferably not later than two weeks prior to the meeting, please). Guests and non-members are always welcome!

Parliamentary Guide

The Parliamentary authority used by the South Chapter is based on the "Alice Sturgis Standard Code of Parliamentary Procedure" available at Amazon.com or other leading bookstores. We have put together a "cheat sheet", a parliamentary guide for reference by the members. Please note that the parliamentary guide is a legal size document in PDF.  Please email us at info@pasmaonline.org if you would like a copy of the cheat sheet.
