About the MLA
The MLA is the collective voice of its members and provides many opportunities for input from the membership. The heart of the MLA is our 1200 members, the majority of whom are lobstermen and lobsterwomen along the Maine coast. The MLA also has many "Businesses" and “Friends” who support the organization as members. Many of these businesses also provide discounts to the MLA membership. The Board of Directors: Directors are elected by the membership at our Annual Meeting held every March at the Maine Fishermen’s Forum. Members are encouraged to make nominations and vote at the Annual Meeting. MLA Directors are responsible for soliciting feedback from members. They are down on the docks, interacting with lobstermen in order to keep the organization informed. The MLA holds monthly meetings which rotate between downeast, midcoast and southern Maine and encourage members to attend these meetings. The meetings are announced in the newsletter, via the email list, and through the local papers. We endeavor to keep our members up to date through our monthly newsletter and email list. The MLA newsletter provides in depth information on pressing issues while the email list provides an opportunity for immediate dissemination of information and feedback from members. The MLA’s well informed membership is the backbone of the organization. The Maine Lobstermen's Associations staff and Board Members work hard for the industry on many different levels. The MLA staff and Board focus time and efforts on on several areas of interest. Go to our current issues page to learn more. |
