Call for Papers/Session Topics

The Pennsylvania Municipal Authorities Association is now planning the 80th Annual Conference & Trade Show which will be held September 11 - 14, 2022, in Erie, Pennsylvania. To provide members and partners with a valuable suite of educational opportunities, we are seeking papers that impact the authority industry. Submissions are reviewed by the Conference Committee and should be informational and/or educational only – commercial endorsements will not be considered.

Your submission will be considered for the following:

• Conference sessions – Presentations held in this successful forum allow for information exchange and professional networking opportunities;

• Webinars – Online sessions are presented throughout the year in a convenient format that reaches a wide audience of authority professionals. PMAA’s virtual training program features a library of the sessions for multiple viewing opportunities;

• Feature articles in The Authority magazine – PMAA’s premier magazine, circulated to more than 5000 authority board members, legislators, and decisionmakers, offers readers direct access to your expertise about complex issues facing authorities today.

Who can submit a paper?

• Authorities with a project, program or case study that advances operations or increases efficiencies;

• Associate members whose expertise supports industry advancement and information exchange.

• Form to submit is on the reverse side of this letter.

Even if you are not submitting a paper to present a conference session, webinar or magazine article, take this opportunity to make suggestions to the Conference Committee about topics that interest you or guidance you need in authority operations or management. Your comments will help us better plan for educational opportunities in the future!

Please note that PMAA is committed to supporting and advancing the efforts of our members and selection preference will be given to Association members. Thank you for your role in serving the interests of authorities and in making PMAA’s 80th Annual Conference a success!
