Township officials and administrative staff looking to expand their skills and earn professional certification credits are encouraged to register for the upcoming PAMA Annual Conference (Sept. 13–16) at the Doubletree by Hilton Pittsburgh-Cranberry. The Pennsylvania Association of Municipal Administrators has been in existence for decades but is now being administered by PSATS. Highlights of this year’s schedule include deep dives into budgeting, zoning compliance, funding strategy, and modern human resources hurdles, along with dedicated roundtable sessions.  

PAMA also offers a “Certified Government Administrator” (CGA) certification and first-time attendee grants to help offset registration costs for local government staff. Discounted hotel room blocks and conference details are available online at pamunicipaladministrators.org.
