A Message from Your President

Welcome to the 2026 Conference!

PSATS President Jay Wilkes

CELEBRATE TOWNSHIPS!

As America celebrates its semiquincentennial, we gather in Hershey to celebrate townships. We will certainly celebrate the semiquin, but let’s also celebrate the work of our townships and embrace local government’s role in the history of this nation, as well as what is to come.

Take time to explore the nearly 100 workshops, which are detailed in your Program Book, and use your township team to maximize attendance at these informative sessions.

Take advantage of the networking opportunities, including the Legislative Grassroots Reception where hundreds of township officials have the opportunity to meet and discuss issues of importance with state legislators.

Visit the vendors outside and inside the Great American Hall, take advantage of the speakers during general sessions, and take time to enjoy yourself as well. This year’s conference has plenty to offer. If you have any questions, see one of us wearing the red, white, and blue PSATS shirts this week!

A Message from Your Executive Director

Celebrate Townships as We Honor America’s 250th

PSATS Executive Director David M. Sanko

WELCOME TO THE 2026 CONFERENCE! The PSATS Educational Conference and Exhibit Show is a mammoth experience, whether you are a first timer or a 20year veteran. There are plenty of tools to assist you and ensure that you have the best conference experience possible.

If you haven’t already, download the mobile app and keep it at your fingertips. The app can help you find your way around the Lodge, track shuttles, and monitor general session and workshop times/locations throughout the week.

For hard-copy fans, there’s the Program Book, which details the conference schedule, workshop descriptions, and more.

If you have any questions, find one of the PSATS staffers or our Conference Ambassadors.

Take advantage of the many networking opportunities, from my favorites, Donuts With Dave and back by popular demand, Dessert With Dave, to the America 250 Welcome Reception.

For our “New-Bees,” we have a lounge where you can obtain answers to your questions and a Meet and Greet slated for Sunday afternoon.

Enjoy the conference and make the most of the educational opportunities, networking, and fun we have planned!

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 72.5 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, outside the Great American Lobby.

County Association Exhibit Please be sure to visit the Adams County Association’s exhibit in the Chocolate Lobby during the conference and learn more about what this region has to offer its residents and visitors.
