PSAI Association Insight, July 7, 2021 I 5 What if I am new to PSAI or the portable sanitation industry? If you are new to either the PSAI or the industry, we are here to make sure you are not alone in your journey. Besides using the conference as a way to learn new business practices, we have a special session dedicated to learning what the PSAI can do for you. Titled simply, "PSAI 101 – What Your Association Does For You (And Making the Most of It)" this is your chance to grab a beverage in a casual environment and join us for a quick trip through the PSAI's many services and benefits. You'll meet the Board, key industry leaders, and staff members while you learn how you can leverage the things the Asso- ciation provides to help your company. And if you are not new but are wondering what your dues are getting you, stop in as well. There's something here for everyone. Is it all work and no play? No! The PSAI is an association—and "to associate" is an action verb! We make sure to leave in plenty of time to join other attendees for an informal gathering where old friendships can be rekindled, and new ones can be made. Mingle with others who do what you do for a living. These are your people! After the first full day of meeting, we will host a welcome gathering that will lead to heading out to dinner with the group of your choice! After the second day of meeting, the PSAI will be hosting a dinner and a party. There is nothing extra to purchase, being an attendee of the conference is your ticket in! This is our chance to celebrate that we are finally all back together! So don't miss the party or you will miss music, dancing, and general carrying on with friends old and new. Your food and fun is included in your event registration fee and there will be a cash bar available.
