The mission of the Pennsylvania State Association of Township Supervisors (PSATS) is to preserve and strengthen township government and to secure greater visibility and involvement for townships in the state and federal political arenas. PSATS serves townships of the second class, totaling 1,454 member townships in the commonwealth, representing some 10,000 elected township officials. The Association represents its members before the state and federal legislative bodies strictly on a nonpartisan basis. Located in Enola, PSATS operates under the direction of a 12-member executive board elected by member townships. The PSATS staff has expertise in township laws and regulations, governmental affairs, environmental management, communications, and training. Nine standing committees composed of township officials oversee specific aspects of Association operations. In addition, PSATS sponsors a wide range of training opportunities to provide township officials and employees with the information and skills they need to meet the ever-increasing challenges of township office.
