The Jefferson County Mayors Association is a non-profit organization which serves as a network of all the mayors of municipalities in Jefferson County to act as a sounding board for each other. At monthly meetings, the mayors discuss a variety of issues, including how their cities are being affected by the wider economy and political climate.

The organization was registered as a 501(c)4 non-profit in 2002.

Former Gardendale mayor Kenny Clemons was hired for the position.

Under state law, the Jefferson County Mayors Association oversees the Jefferson County Emergency Management Agency. It also appoints members to many county-wide and regional authorities, including four members of the board of the Birmingham Jefferson County Transit Authority, three members to the Jefferson County Flood Control Authority, two members to the Red Mountain Greenway and Recreational Commission, and one member to the Birmingham Water Works board.
