PSAB’s conference is essential for elected and appointed offi cials of Pennsylvania’s Boroughs because it offers specific educational programs, panel discussions on current issues and networking opportunities. Participants include Borough managers, secretaries, mayors, council members and others who govern the Boroughs and make the major purchasing decisions.

An integral component of our Annual Conference is the Exhibitors. This year 57 booths will be available. Don’t miss this chance to display your company’s products and services of importance to Borough offi cials. The PSAB Annual Conference has proven to be profi table for both exhibitors and attendees alike. Don’t forget exhibiting is one of the most effective marketing tools in the industry.

To encourage exhibit participation, refreshments and Monday lunch are served at the exhibit hall entrance during show hours. We also have a traffi c-building program that awards participation with prize drawings.

This brochure contains important details to make your involvement in the 2010 PSAB Annual Conference Exhibition a success. To secure your preferred space, please return your completed contract with your payment as soon as possible but no later than March 15.

PSAB values the educational contribution made by each exhibitor and we are confident your company will be successful at Pittsburgh this April.

ABOUT PSAB

PSAB is a nonprofi t/nonpartisan Association operated by the Boroughs of the Commonwealth to promote effective local government practices and initiatives. Its founder, Mr. Thomas F. Chrostwaite, sought to create an organization which Borough delegates around Pennsylvania could aggregate political strength to gain influence in the public policy-making arena. In 1915, Governor Brumbaugh signed Act 392, formally granting legal recognition to PSAB as the single organization authorized to represent the Boroughs of Pennsylvania.

Today, PSAB represents 958 governing bodies, over 9,100 elected/appointed local offi cials, and 2.6 million residents spanning 66 counties.
