Dwayne Steager, building code and zoning enforcement officer for West Hempfield Township, recently completed the certificate program of the PSATS Municipal Government Academy (PMGA), a leadership and municipal education program of the Pennsylvania State Association of Township Supervisors (PSATS). Participants in the academy develop their leadership and communication skills and also receive training in one or all of four technical categories: administration, planning and zoning, public safety, and public works.
PMGA participants earn points by attending classroom workshops and webinars and other PSATS educational opportunities, such as the annual educational conference, regional forums, the Human Resources and Labor Management Institute, Boot Camp for Township Officials, and Grassroots Advocacy Day.
In this year's graduating class, four individuals, including Steager, completed the certificate program by earning 30 points in a single category, and five others completed the diploma category by earning 60 points from across all four areas of study. Steager earned his certificate in the planning and zoning category.
