“We look forward to working with PSLS and working to grow and enhance the association,” said John Palatiello, Partner, Miller/Wenhold Association Management.
“Our team is grateful the leadership of PSLS has selected us to put our experience in the surveying and design-related professions to work to grow the association, implement new and innovative association management programs and techniques, and build on the strengths of PSLS,” added Palatiello.
“We needed to explore a change in the approach to management of PSLS and found Miller/Wenhold to have a solid reputation, record of success, and the knowledge of the surveying profession we’re seeking,” said Hopkins. “Miller/Wenhold is the firm to steer us in the right direction.”
Miller/Wenhold will provide association management; financial management; member communications; public and media relations services; education; conference planning and coordination services; and work with the society to develop government affairs strategies.
PSLS also announced it has retained a new lobbyist in Harrisburg. Bob Regola, President of Regola Consulting LLC, assumes representation of PSLS before state government in the Commonwealth.
