Global Crowds, Global Accessibility
At Global Crowd Management Alliance (GCMA), we believe that professional development and industry collaboration should be accessible to everyone—regardless of geography or local economic conditions. That’s why we offer the option to use Parity Pricing for membership enrollment. Parity pricing adjusts the cost of membership based on the relative local purchasing power in your country, using international economic data. This means you pay a fair and equitable rate that reflects what £100 in the UK would mean in your local economy.
