When elected or appointed, township officials automatically become PSATS members through their township's membership. If you're an elected or appointed township official in Pennsylvania and are unsure about your entity’s membership status with PSATS, your board secretary or manager can provide the necessary details.
PSATS offers its members exclusive access to training, resources, and events via the member portal at PSATS.org. If you have any questions about PSATS.org or your membership that aren't covered on our FAQ page, please submit a message, and we'll be happy to follow up with you.
