PSATC Regions
EAST
The Eastern Region of PSATC brings together First Class Townships from across southeastern Pennsylvania, creating a strong network of local leaders working to share ideas, solve challenges, and stay informed.
Beyond PSATC membership, townships in this region have the added benefit of connecting at the local level through the Montgomery County First Class Township Association and the Delaware County First Class Township Association. These organizations offer valuable opportunities for education, collaboration, and staying up to date on the issues that matter most in your community. To learn more contact:
