Miss GMA & Junior Miss GMA

Miss GMA or Jr. Miss GMA is the title earned each year by the girl with the highest number of points in her age division in the local auxiliary. She represents the church in the district presentation. The girl who is selected at the district presentation represents her district at the state meeting. At this meeting the girl is selected who will represent her state at the national Girls Discipleship Retreat, sponsored by National GMA.

The announcement of the Miss GMA and Jr. Miss GMA is a unique ceremony attended by family and friends. Consequently, this special time is one of the highlights of the GMA year.

Since the first national presentation in 1973, many young ladies have taken the challenge offered them by the Miss GMA/Jr. Miss GMA program. They have set their goals to become better GMA members — and that is the essence of the program. In reaching their goals, they have made a commitment to put God first — above school activities and social events to attend GMA meetings on local, state, and national levels. They have determined to complete projects, memorize scriptures, complete lesson books, and read books. Yes, those are heavy commitments for girls today, but not too heavy for our GMA girls.
