4 I PSAI Association Insight, July 7, 2021 "sinks in." To become a credentialed trainer you will need to: • Work for a PSAI member company • Attend all four TTT sessions in Myrtle Beach • Be eligible for PSAI's certification as a Portable Sanitation Professional • Pass the certification exam if you have not already done so • Deliver a short instructional session to your TTT peers that demonstrates your readiness to train others • Agree to follow all PSAI policies and requirements for content security and delivery going forward We are excited to roll out this new course and we trust it will be a welcome addition to the resources available to your company from the PSAI.* Roundtables Maybe the most popular of all the sessions at a PSAI event, our famous roundtable discussions really need no introduction or explanation. Simply choose from a list of industry-related topics and join in a facilitated peer discussion. I guarantee you will learn something that you can immediately implement in your business that saves or makes money. There are two roundtable sessions to make sure you get the topics you are most interested in. 10:15 am–11:30 am Purchasing and Supply Outlook 2022 Supply chain disruptions have wreaked havoc on many industries including portable sanitation. This session will give you an up-to-the-minute view on what you can expect for product availability in the coming year, tips about when to order to stay ahead of your needs, and ideas from operators on how to manage various concerns when making purchasing decisions in an uncertain market. 11:30 am–1:00 pm Lunch on Your Own 1:00 pm–1:45 pm Roundtable I Choose from a list of industry-related topics and join in a facilitated peer discussion 1:45 pm-2:30 pm Roundtable II — choose from a list of industry related discussion topics Choose from a list of industry-related topics and join in a facilitated peer discussion 2:30 pm–3:00 pm Coffee, Networking, and Tabletop Exhibits 3:15 pm–4:15 pm Panel: Strategic Bidding Your costs are through the roof, but your competitors want business too.

Yet, many heads are better than one. This interactive session will involve learning, sharing, and building a workforce development plan you can take back to your company, as well as a plan the PSAI can work toward at the industry level. It's not a "sit and listen" kind of morning. It's a work together to make things better session, the sort of thing an association does best.
