Federal Managers Association

Advocating Excellence in Public Service

The Federal Managers Association (FMA), established in 1913, is the oldest and largest association representing the interests of the 200,000 managers, supervisors and executives serving in today’s federal government.

Membership

  • The Federal Managers Association is the only professional association advocating for all federal managers, supervisors and executives
  • Your pay, retirement benefits, and job are being targeted. We fight to protect what you have earned.
  • We advocate for legislation that helps our members by meeting with decision makers, testifying before Congress, briefing legislators, crafting legislation, and mobilizing our members to fight for good government policies.
  • FMA provides members training for both grassroots action and general skills improvement, helping you become a stronger leader and creating opportunities for advancement.

FMA Successes

• Bipartisan Hiring Reform: FMA helped shepherd the Chance to Compete Act into law in December 2024, practical skills-based hiring reform legislation that places greater emphasis on prospective employees’ work experience and allows agencies to share certifications.

• Advocated for and helped push through a 5.2 percent federal employee pay raise for 2024. This is the largest pay raise for feds since 1980.
