Arnold's Environmental; Chip Herrald, Crosiers Inc;
Joshua Perez, Texas Waste Disposal; Bill Reynolds Jr,
Rent-A-John Portable Sanitation; Derek Pauling, Biffs;
and Jeff Wolfarth, Mr John of Pittsburgh. The session
was facilitated by Past President Jeff Wigley. Despite
the lateness of the hour, attendees were engaged and
working the numbers as they listened to industry
leaders describe the process of successfully pulling off
events for tens of thousands of people.

Scott Thone, PSAI Board President for 2019-20 welcomed
attendees to the conference. He thanked the organization's
titanium and platinum Members for their support over and
above the value they receive for their dues. He also thanked
coffee break sponsors, volunteers, and staff who made the
event possible — and gave a special shout out to NTR Rents
and Texas Outhouse for hosting such outstanding site visits
this year.
Keynote speaker Barbara Weltman discussed key
concepts in minimizing the tax burden portable
sanitation companies pay. Her annually published
volume JK Lasser's Small Business Taxes 2020 was
hot off the press, and she gave a copy away to a
member of the audience.
