What does PHMA do?
PHMA finances programs, literature, videos, research, and
other activities which, in the opinion of the Board of Directors,
will enhance the proper use of protective helmets and lead
to a better understanding of head injury in non-motorized
sports. The membership provides a unified voice in matters
of importance to the industry, including appropriate review
and evaluation of products of standards-making and legislative
bodies, and sharing of information to strengthen the industry
and enhance the performance of protective headgear. |

What are the benefits of
membership in PHMA?
All members benefit from PHMA activities through improved
education of the public, increased headgear use, and standardized
approaches to certain generic attributes of helmets. PHMA
members are encouraged to provide input for the general
use of PHMA funds by recommending certain projects that
they feel would advance the mission of the Association.
PHMA allows its members an increased likelihood of controlling
the destiny of their industry, by direct sharing of industry
information.
