Greater Transparency
Members should have a clear understanding of how the organization operates and how decisions are made.
We support:
- Regular reporting on board decisions and strategic priorities
- Clear summaries of major initiatives and organizational goals
- Greater visibility into how member feedback informs leadership decisions
- The publication of all meeting minutes, which have not been updated since 2021.
- Clear financial reporting. GAMA is a member organization that has not reported financials for 2024, 2025, or 2026.
Transparency builds trust and helps members feel connected to the organization that represents them.
Clear Governance Standards
Healthy organizations benefit from strong governance practices that ensure leadership remains accountable.
We support:
- Clear expectations for board responsibilities
- Consistent governance policies and procedures
- Leadership structures that prioritize member interests
Good governance ensures the organization remains focused on its mission.
Better Communication with Members
Members should feel informed and included in the direction of the organization.
We support:
- Regular updates on initiatives and programs
- Opportunities for members to ask questions and provide feedback
- Open channels of communication between leadership and the community
- The publication of all board meetings recordings so they are available to members unable to attend.
An engaged membership strengthens the entire tabletop ecosystem.
A Future-Focused Strategy
The tabletop industry is evolving rapidly, and its trade association must evolve with it.
We support leadership that prioritizes:
- Industry growth and sustainability
- support for publishers, retailers, and creators
- programs that strengthen the tabletop market as a whole
The goal is a stronger, more effective GAMA: The Tabletop Association that truly represents the modern tabletop industry.
Professionalism and Conduct
A trade association representing the tabletop industry should demonstrate the highest standards of professionalism in its leadership, communications, and public conduct.
Members, partners, and the broader community deserve leadership that communicates respectfully, acts responsibly, and represents the industry with credibility and integrity.
We support:
- Professional standards for board communication and public conduct
- Leadership that models respectful engagement with members and industry stakeholders
- A culture of collaboration rather than internal conflict
- Clear expectations for how board members represent the organization publicly
Professionalism is essential for maintaining trust within the membership and for ensuring that GAMA: The Tabletop Association can effectively represent the tabletop industry.
