2020 PSATS Educational Conference & Exhibit Show Decision - with Executive Director David SankoIn the last several weeks since the COVID-19 pandemic began, PSATS has been very busy helping its member townships adjust to this new normal and stay on top of all the developments that affect their delivery of services to their constituents. With much of that planning and communication now underway, we are able to turn our attention to the 2020 PSATS Annual Conference and Exhibit Show.
After much deliberation by the PSATS Executive Board, in consultation with staff, we have decided to postpone the 2020 Annual Conference and Exhibit Show to a later date this year. As you can imagine, this was a very difficult decision, but the health and safety of everyone involved must take priority, and we believe it to be the best course of action. Watch your inbox and the PSATS Conference page at conference.psats.org for updates as we finalize new dates and other details. We ask for your patience during these extraordinary times and as we work to bring you the conference you expect. Thank you!
