The Power of One CAN ONE PERSON REALLY MAKE A DIFFERENCE? Each member represents the “power of one” that turns into the collective strength of many. It is the passion, enthusiasm, and synergy of these individuals that PSATS has been tapping with its Power of One volunteer initiative.

Through this effort, PSATS has been asking township officials and employees who are willing to step up and help make their association a stronger, more viable organization.

And step up you have! Since we launched this program five years ago, many of you have been volThank unteering to help PSATS with a whole host of needs.

Some members have moderated workshops, You! some have helped judge our award programs, and others have served as registrars for our educational sessions around the commonwealth.

And now here in Hershey, we have our Conference Ambassadors helping to make this event even more successful. Look for the Ambassador ribbon on their badges. They’ll be the ones helping you find your way around the Lodge, scanning your badges at various events, moderating workshops, and helping out in many other ways.

WANT TO VOLUNTEER? The power of one to make a difference is an awesome power. If you would like to become a part of this network of volunteers, please fill out the back of the punctuality cards on page 182, email powerofone@psats.org, or call PSATS at (717) 763-0930.

Through the Power of One, PSATS hopes to mold a personal experience for its members, one that delivers opportunities that will allow you to share your time and talents for the association’s collective good.

Attendance & Expense Reimbursement

Section 1402(d) of the Township Code provides that the board of supervisors may designate one or more of the following officials to attend the annual conference: the supervisors, the township secretary, the township treasurer, and/ or the township manager. In addition, Section 607(4) authorizes the board of supervisors to send any other township employee, including township solicitors and engineers, to the annual conference.

Section 1402 of the Township Code states that each attendee may be reimbursed from the township’s general fund for the following expenses: registration fee, round-trip mileage or round-trip transportation expenses, and any other expenses that the board of supervisors has agreed to pay.

Every township attendee must submit to their board an itemized account of all allowable expenses incurred at the conference.

Attendees may not receive reimbursement for expenses for more than four days, including the time spent traveling to and from the conference.

The Second Class Township Code authorizes townships to compensate township employees, including supervisors who are employed by the township, either full- or part-time, at their regular hourly rate while attending the annual conference.

Also, townships may compensate supervisors who are not employed by the township to receive full or partial reimbursement for lost wages while attending the conference. The board of supervisors must establish a policy to authorize this reimbursement.

Please note that township officials attending the conference may not claim mileage reimbursement unless they actually drove a vehicle to and from the conference. The Internal Revenue Service’s current allowable mileage rate is 67 cents per mile. If the board sets a mileage rate above this figure, the difference is considered additional income and must be reported on each employee’s income tax form. Supervisors must set the per-mile reimbursement rate by resolution at a public meeting.

To support your reimbursement requests, the State Association recommends that you document your actual expenses at the conference and keep copies of receipts from hotel accommodations, meals, transportation, and other allowable expenses.

The official conference certificate of attendance and expense form will be distributed after the Wednesday morning general session.

Exhibits Please be sure to visit the indoor and outdoor exhibit areas. The outdoor exhibits are located in front of the Lodge, directly outside the Great American Lobby.

A list of the conference exhibitors begins on page 92. Exhibit hours are: • Sunday: 1 to 5 p.m. and 6:30 to 8 p.m.

• Monday: 7:30 a.m. to 4 p.m.

• Tuesday: 7:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m.

County Association Exhibit

Winners of any county association booth prize drawings will be listed at the county association’s exhibit and on the bulletin board near the PSATS Information Desk in the Chocolate Lobby. Attendees should check both places before the end of the conference on Wednesday to see if they have won a prize.

Many of the county associations also generously donate gift baskets to be given as door prizes during the morning general sessions. You must be present to win the general session prizes.

Please print legibly. You must be in the Chocolate Ballroom to win.

Prize drawings will also be held for the Trivia Contest during the Tuesday and Wednesday morning general sessions. (This is separate from ScanTrivia.) Use the blue cards in the back of the book and place them in the “Trivia Contest” boxes as you leave the general session Monday and Tuesday mornings. You must be in the ballroom to win.

Supervisor/Secretary Hall of Fame Photo Booth If you are a township supervisor or township secretary who has served in that role for 20 years or more, be sure to stop by our Hall of Fame photo booth. Supervisors and secretaries who have already had their picture taken at a previous conference need not have it taken again unless they want an updated photo. The photo booth will be open Monday and Tuesday afternoon in Cocoa Suites 4 & 5 (Member Lounge).

CONSERVATION COLLABORATION SPONSOR Tower Suite 1 (take the elevator to the first floor) WORKSHOP Category: Planning/Zoning The natural gas and oil industry has had a longstanding commitment to protecting the people and the environment in which it operates. Today, new approaches for collaborative conservation efforts on industry rights of way (ROWs) and other company assets are providing opportunities to establish new, non-traditional partnerships and engagements with individuals and organizations that share these same objectives. The American Petroleum Institute has launched a new program to facilitate these collaborative conservation efforts across the country in a manner that ensures multiple benefits to the environment while at the same time providing a vehicle to effectively and regularly engage with communities in a meaningful fashion. In addition to addressing challenges associated with climate change, invasive species, and endangered species, these conservation efforts can also be an effective means to manage stormwater runoff, control erosion, and reduce sediment load into waterways. During this session, participants will provide an overview of current efforts and then discuss how collaborative conservation linked to industry assets can provide benefits to habitats, communities, elected officials, and industry in a sustainable fashion.

SPONSOR WORKSHOP

The Shale Revolution has been a game changer for Pennsylvania. The economic development, consumer savings, and environmental benefits cannot be overstated. Abundant, clean natural gas has proven to be a significant benefit for all consumers, from homeowners to businesses.

Wholesale natural gas and electricity prices have fallen precipitously in Pennsylvania since the advent of the Shale Revolution. The modern natural gas industry supported 123,000 jobs in 2022 alone, with annual wages of $97,000. The $41 billion in economic activity by the industry in that year resulted in significant royalty payments to landowners, and tax payments to state and local governments. One particular tax, the impact fee, has generated more than $2.5 billion since its inception. Pollutant emissions have plummeted and CO2 emissions from the power sector have dropped as well. Natural gas is playing, and will continue to play, a leading role in securing a sustainable energy future for generations.

Following his impressive military career, Bourke applied the tools and techniques that made him one of our nation’s premier fighter pilots to the competitive world of business. He ascended rapidly to become the top producing mortgage banker in the Western U.S. for a prominent lending institution. His success in the mortgage banking industry led to an opportunity with a California-based start-up where his team dramatically grew annual revenue from $500,000 to $65 million in just three years.

Following these two endeavors, Bourke combined his love of business with his passion for tactical aviation to build Afterburner Seminars, a global training company based on the lessons he learned in the military.

With Bourke as president and CEO, Afterburner grew into a best-in-class training company that was twice named one of Inc. magazine’s 500 fastest growing companies.

Currently, Bourke serves as CEO and founder of Mach 2 Consulting and has shared his message of peak performance to more than 100,000 people in 12 different countries.
