Membership Value: PSC Pivots to Member Needs During COVID-19 PSC
is actively navigating the changing face of life and business during the COVID-19 crisis. PSC continues to be your advocate with the Legislative and Executive branches on important marketplace issues like teleworking, mobile-ready status, communicating with federal agencies, returning to the workplace, and more. Additionally, we have focused internally on our continued efforts to provide you the greatest value for your membership. Below are just some of the ways we are striving to maximize your PSC membership during these unique times.
COVID-19 Resource Center PSC monitors reports from the media, U.S. government and other agencies, and member companies on COVID-19 for potential impact to your company and employees and to the work you are doing. The PSC COVID-19 Resource Center, available at www.pscouncil.org/covid19, includes relevant updates in several key categories, what PSC is doing and how we plan to stay engaged with you during this time.
Virtual Events PSC has pivoted our robust events, conferences and training schedule from in-person to virtual.. We moved our Annual Conference and FedHealth Conference, from the early Spring to the Fall. The Federal Acquisition Conference, along with many of our committee meetings, has also transitioned to virtual events. Our Service Contract Act trainings have also been moved online. We have added briefings from our executive staff on the policy and budget impacts the crisis has had on our industry. For information on these and other programs and events, visit our events page at www.pscouncil.org/calendar or contact our events team at events@pscouncil.org.
Online Communities

PSC is implementing additional tools to improve and enhance virtual member-to-member interactions. One tool is Online Communities, a dynamic, virtual platform that allows members and groups to engage through discussion boards, polls and more. Launching later this year, this “digital gathering place” will allow members to effectively collaborate and communicate with each other and PSC staff members in real time.
