The official jurisdiction of Midwest Georgia includes ten counties: Butts, Coweta, Fayette, Heard, Jasper, Lamar, Meriwether, Pike, Spalding and Upson.

The Association has celebrated many milestones over the past 39 years, but what a proud moment on August 19, 2004, when 160 members gathered at a gala honoring the HBA's 30 years. A special event of the evening was the cutting of a 30th birthday cake by founding President J.C. Brogdon, 2003-2004 President Mac McKinney, and Executive Officer Sandy Boda.
​
Other Past Presidents on hand for the celebration were Bob Dixon, Jerry Tedder, Gene Barber, Chris Parrott, Michael Rossetti, Ray Rogerson, Vince Rossetti, Dennis Floyd, Jeff Betsill, and Eddie Lusher. Also present for the special occasion were Robin Keesal, the associations' First Executive officer, and Huie L. Bray, who served on the organization's first Board of Directors.
