2013 CONVENTION CATALOG November 6 – 9, 2013 Myrtle Beach
Portable Sanitation Association International 2013 CONVENTION CATALOG Portable Sanitation Industry Convention & Trade Show November 6 – 9, 2013 Myrtle Beach, South Carolina Sheraton Myrtle Beach Convention Center Hotel © 2013 PSAI A Letter from Jeff Wigley, PSAI President PSAI President’s Message: Dear Friends, The PSAI has made a multitude of improvements and enhancements as we build a firm foundation for the future. With a new and improved website, and tiered membership benefits built to meet the needs of Portable Restroom Operators and Suppliers of every shape and size, the WORLD now knows of these accomplishments. I firmly believe that our Association is stronger and more vibrant than at any time in our history. The complete overhaul of the PSAI website was a major goal for 2013, and I hope that everyone has had the opportunity to experience “PSAI.org.” This will be the primary communication vehicle for the PSAI both now and in the future. From Industry News, Convention and Meeting information, Certification programs, and Member benefits, the website is “the place to go to get in the know.” The new PRO Member Locator has received the most positive reviews from Members. Potential customers can enter their zip code, and a list of PSAI Operators in that area will appear with name, address, phone number and website information. In addition, “Certified Employees” are listed for those companies that have employees that have completed PSAI Certification. Finally, for eligible Silver, Gold, and Platinum Members, “Certified Company” designation will also be included. Website reviews have been extremely favorable … “inviting” … “easy to navigate” … “a very professional representation of our Association” … “informative and interesting” … “fresh and new.” The PSAI continues to grow and change to meet our Members’ needs and the Convention & Trade Show in Myrtle Beach is no exception. We’ve got a jam-packed schedule of events starting on Wednesday, November 6. Join us for a tour of Brookgreen Gardens (www.brookgreen.org), or test your golf skills against other PROs in our annual golf tournament at the Myrtlewoods Palmetto Course (www.myrtlewoodsgolf.com). That evening, all PSAI Members in good standing are invited to attend the Board Meeting. Please join us as we “ROLL UP OUR SLEEVES” to further improve the PSAI. Thursday, November 7 boasts speakers and Roundtables – check out the full schedule on pages 5-9 of this catalog for more information. At the conclusion of the President’s Reception, a Trade Show “Sneak Preview” kicks off the end of the day. On Friday, November 8, the PSAI kicks off the Convention with an inspirational and educational workshop by PSAI International veteran, Lothar Vermillion. This is not to be missed! Walk the show floor during the day, and don’t forget about the cash prizes at the PSAI Booth! Finally, join us at Jimmy Buffet’s Margaritaville that evening (www.margaritavillemyrtlebeach.com) – who doesn’t enjoy a good margarita? On Saturday, November 9, as always, we host a PSAI Certification course and enjoy the final day of the Trade Show. Additional Workshops and Roundtables run throughout the day. Be sure to stop by the PSAI Booth, too, where we’d love to meet you in person to learn more about your company. The PSAI is the only trade association specifically serving the portable restroom industry. With over 40 years of service, we are continually evolving to meet the needs of our Members. We look forward to seeing you in Myrtle Beach and please start planning for our Convention & Trade Show in Nashville next March 2014!

During this interactive and fun (yes, we did say fun!) keynote address, Paul will help you better understand the income statement, the balance sheet and the statement of cashflow. Using real-world examples and simple ways of explaining complex points, Paul will help owners and employees better understand the language of business and your money-making model. He’ll also present innovative ways of looking at your business using key performance indicators and a balanced scorecard. Paul Butler is a client partner with Newleaf Training and Development, and since 2006 has served clients in 28 states, China, India and Western Europe. His clients include: Caltech, JPL/NASA, Pepperdine, CB Richard Ellis, BP ARCO and Lockheed Martin. Originally from England, Paul is a Chartered Global Management Accountant (equivalent to a Certified Public Accountant). Prior to starting Newleaf Training and Development, he worked for Marriott Hotels as a Regional Finance Director overseeing 48 hotels in the United Kingdom. Paul also served as the Director of Financial Services for HHonors and as a Regional Finance Director for Hilton International out of London. He is the Chairperson for the Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce’s Small Business Owners Roundtable, and a past Board Member for the American Society of Training and Development. Paul holds a Bachelor’s Degree in business and finance, and has been married to Gaynor for nearly 20 years. They have two teenage children, Brodie and Henry. Paul says that since he has had teenage children, his IQ has apparently gone down by about 50 percent! 5 Event Speaker: Scott Waddle Thursday, November 7 · 10:00 a.m. “Failure Is Not Final” Scott Waddle Commanding Officer What is the true measure of a man? Is it the number of wins against losses, triumphs over failures, how many or how few mistakes are made? The truth is we have all made mistakes, learned from them and moved on. But what does one do when a mistake is made that has life-altering consequences? The kind of mistake that sends out ripples that extend far beyond the shore? Those ripples can then turn into huge swells that come crashing back, to engulf you, every day of your life. An inspirational leader with uncompromising ethical standards, Scott Waddle graduated at the top of his class at Annapolis. With 20 years of experience in the construction, maintenance and operation of nuclear-powered submarines, in 1998 he was handpicked from a highly competitive field of 250 naval officers to command the improved Los Angeles class Fast Attack nuclear submarine USS Greeneville. As commanding officer of Greeneville, he managed a 140-man crew. On the fateful day of February 9, 2001, Commander Waddle’s life was forever changed when he gave the order to perform an emergency surface maneuver that inadvertently caused the nine-thousand ton submarine to collide with the Ehime Maru, a five-hundred ton Japanese fishing vessel, killing nine people on board. Against the advise of his attorney and the Navy’s direction, he took responsibility for the accident. Commander Waddle’s compelling story about a tragic ordeal and the choices that followed is a lesson about integrity and resilience. Scott Waddle, a native of Austin, Texas, graduated from the United States Naval Academy in May of 1981 earning a Bachelors of Science degree in Chemistry. Following graduation he was commissioned an Ensign and embarked on a twenty-year career in the submarine force where he served aboard Atlantic Fleet trident ballistic missile boats Alabama and Kentucky and Pacific Fleet fast attacks San Francisco and Greeneville. 6 Event Speaker: Bill Gibson Thursday, November 7 · 1:30 p.m. “Brand Marketing” Bill Gibson JAG Mobile Solutions “I is who I say I is...or is I?” What your brand says or doesn’t say about your company & how to affect it. This workshop presented by Bill Gibson of JAG Mobile Solutions will address today’s marketing issues faced by portable sanitation companies, from sole proprietors to major corporations. His session will discuss company/brand identity, internet and website relevance, the ABCs of service marketing, measuring results and much more. Attendees will leave this seminar with company-specific, actionable information that will actually help their organization and be affordable. Content received will be directly usable by the attendees themselves or with only minimal outside professional assistance. The seminar will have something for everyone from the basics of marketing to more involved strategy including a Q&A period. Bill Gibson received Bachelor of Science degrees in Electronics Engineering and Marketing from Franklin University’s Columbus Ohio campus and a Masters of Business Administration degree with a focus in marketing from West Virginia University. For more than 15 years after earning his masters degree, he consulted with clients in the transportation industry on best business practices, marketing, sales generation and operations. He also held the position as director of Sales and Marketing for West Virginia based Benson International Inc., a worldwide supplier and manufacturer of class eight specialty semi-trailers and equipment with annual sales of approximately $50 million. Along with his wife Lisa, Bill and their two sons relocated from West Virginia to their current home in Angola Indiana to form JAG Mobile Solutions and continue to provide consulting services in marketing, operations, and best business practices to a variety of industries. JAG Mobile Solutions is a privately held company that manufactures and globally distributes specialty trailers from its 90,000 square foot manufacturing facility in Howe Indiana with focus on portable sanitation, disaster relief and a variety of other commercial applications. A member of various civic organizations, Bill is active in youth mentoring, athletic coaching and is an avid outdoorsman. 7 Workshops Friday, November 8 · 9:00 a.m. – Lothar Vermillion “International Differences in Portable Sanitation” International standardization for portable sanitation is a hot topic – and this workshop is guaranteed to jump start the PSAI and our Members to work together more closely to influence and create change around the world for the industry. Lothar Vermillion will lead a discussion focused on the requirements of services and products relating to the “deployment of cabins and sanitary products” – including international standardization (ISO), national standardization organizations (ANSI, DIN, BSI, AFNOR, AENOE-CEN, etc.) and European Standards (EN 16194). Discussions among PSAI members have shown that the portable sanitation services and products in the U.S. and Europe are very much alike. During this active session, attendees will work together to record the major operational differences in areas that have different demands and require a different approach by the industry, and will include a Q&A session. A Past President of the PSAI, Lothar Vermillion has been a leader and expert in worldwide portable sanitation issues for over 30 years. From 1983 until 2005 he was Group Managing Director and Partner at ADCO International, the largest portable sanitation business worldwide. He has held various board and committee chairman functions with BDE (German Federal Waste Management Association), IPSWG/EPSWB (International European Portable Sanitation Working Group), and DIN/CEN (German / European Standardization Committees). Today, Lothar continues to consult on international portable sanitation issues. Saturday, November 9 · 9:00 a.m. – Wes Tuttle “Alternative Fuel Vehicles” In this workshop, Wes will review the most current offerings in alternative fuel vehicles. There will be an overview of options for medium duty trucks, including some of the challenges of operating these vehicles in a service operation. A brief snapshot of what is in development and what it means for our industry in the future will also be covered in this discussion. 8 Wes Tuttle is Truck General Manager for Satellite Industries. He has 20 years of experience related to vacuum trucks used in the portable sanitation and septic truck industries. At Satellite, Wes oversees the manufacturing, sales and service of all vehicles produced. His vast field experience has taught him the benefits and limitations of aluminum, stainless and mild steel tanks, configuring and repairing vacuum systems and familiarity with all the leading truck chassis designs, features and benefits. Round Table Discussions Networking Sharing Information Industry-specific Issues What better forum than a round table discussion? The PSAI has held round table discussions as part of the Convention & Trade Show for over 30 years. During this time, they have become one of the best forums for getting to know other PSAI Members, exchanging ideas, finding new answers to old concerns, and generally broadening everyone’s horizons and perspectives. Round table topics give owner/operators, management, service technicians and office personnel the opportunity to discuss industry-specific issues as they pertain to the day-today operation of a portable sanitiation business. Participants experience a wide variety of viewpoints, and informational handouts may be distributed, depending on the topic. Conversations are open, but guided by a Round Table Captain, often a PSAI Board Member or Past President, who leads as an industry expert, keeps the conversations on track and ensures everyone at the table gets a voice in the discussion. Subjects of round table discussions in Myrtle Beach may include: • Creative marketing • Image and quality control • Trucks & pumps: managing repair costs • Drivers: hiring, firing and training issues • Good agricultural practices • Tiered membership benefits • PSAI website • General membership Q & A • Company Certification Discussions can also be led between members with companies of similar size to ensure relevant for the attendee: • Under 500 units • 500 – 1500 units • 1500 – 3000 units • Over 3000 units We look forward to seeing you in Myrtle Beach at the Round Table Discussions. Detailed information about topics and location will be available at the registration booth prior to the show, and at the PSAI booth during the show. 9 Scholarship Fund PSAI Scholarship Fund Advancement through education is a concept the PSAI has long promoted.Each year the PSAI awards at least eight scholarships of $3,000 each to individuals in our industry who have made a commitment to advancing themselves through higher education.

The three main features of Brookgreen Gardens are the Huntington Sculpture Garden, the Center for American Sculpture, and the Lowcountry History and Wildlife Preserve. The Huntington Sculpture Garden opened in 1932 as America’s first public sculpture garden. The collection now contains over 1400 works, and its placement in over 35 acres of garden and landscape settings creates an extraordinary combination of art and nature. The thousands of acres in Brookgreen’s Lowcountry History and Wildlife Preserve are rich with evidence of the great rice plantations of the 1800s and the Gullah culture of the enslaved Africans who sustained it, as well as with the native plants and animals of the distinctive landscapes of the Lowcountry. Visitors may explore these places by walking the Lowcountry Trail, by touring the animal exhibits, and by traveling on the boat or overland vehicle deep into the Preserve. Wednesday, November 6, 2013 · 10:00 a.m. Golf Tournament: Myrtlewood Golf Club, Palmetto Course (www.myrtlewoodgolfcourse.com) Myrtlewood Palmetto golf course has a traditional design that offers gentle sloping fairways with a variety of hazards, bunkers and large, subtle undulating greens. Traditional architecture, exquisite bent grass greens, and picturesque views of the Intracoastal Waterway combine to make Palmetto one of the Grand Strand’s most enjoyable courses. Its sensational Par 3, 17th hole and majestic 18th provide an exciting finish to this gem. Friday, November 8, 2013 6:30 p.m. Jimmy Buffett’s Margaritaville (www.margaritavillemyrtlebeach.com) Margaritaville Myrtle Beach is at center stage of Broadway at the Beach, South Carolina’s award-winning entertainment destination. From the permanently docked boat, Euphoria, to the Stranded on Sandbar located in a Lighthouse, Margaritaville has a boatload of character that appeals to the universal yearning for a tropical escape. Watch out for that hurricane that’s blowing not wind and rain, but Margaritas into a giant blender. The island-inspired menu offers something for everyone with classic American and regional favorites. After dinner, the restaurant transitions into a swinging late night scene with dancing and live music. 11 PSAI Education Initiative Global Sanitation Education Initiative GET INVOLVED! The Education Initiative of the PSAI focuses on highlighting the importance of sanitation in daily living and the lack of adequate sanitation in developing countries. Over one third of the world’s population does not have access to proper sanitation. That means over one in three individuals defecate in the open, using whatever means available. Lack of adequate sanitation causes privacy, safety and health issues. Inadequate sanitation often leads to the contamination of water supplies and often negates the advantages of pouring of billions of dollars in aid into poor countries – and it is getting worse not better. •A child dies every 17 seconds (more children die from diarrhea than of malaria or AIDS) •One third of girls drop out of school due to the lack of access to a toilet •50 percent of hospital beds in developing countries are used for patients with a disease related to the lack of sanitation. Portable sanitation operations are already saving over 125,000,000 gallons of freshwater daily, and prevent the spread of communicable diseases and the contamination of fresh water. As an industry, portable sanitation has been a proven means of safely handling and treating human waste for over 70 years. Portable sanitation is an essential lifesaving necessity immediately after natural disasters, protects the environment, improves public health and preserves human dignity. The PSAI and its Education Initiative seeks to develop affiliations with other non-profit foundations, associations, individuals and organizations to advance the awareness of the pressing issues created by the lack of adequate sanitation worldwide. We also seek to inform the general public about the importance of their voluntary use of portable sanitation. Sanitation operators involvement and efforts to educate their customers and the general public is the first step in improving sanitation efforts in their community and the world. Industry leaders who are part of the Education Initiative will be on hand during the Convention & Trade Show and invite you to meet with them to join the initiative on Wednesday, November 6 at 7:30 a.m. Location to be announced. Addiitonallly, Lothar Vermillion will be leading a workshop to lead a workshop on Friday morning, November 8 at 9:00 a.m. called “International Differences in Portable Sanitation.” See you there! 12 Company Certification PSAI Company Certification for Operators The PSAI is thrilled to announce the Company Certification program for Operators is available and online. All PSAI Members that are Silver, Gold or Platinum are welcome to apply. Members in Good Standing (dues paid in full) that achieve certification will be listed as PSAI COMPANY CERTIFIED on the PSAI Online Operator Member Locator, and will be given a wall plaque to display at their office. PSAI Members who achieve company certification will benefit from the ability to market themselves to customers who are increasingly aware of the environmental, health and safety impacts of the companies they hire. This pilot program will include a questionnaire for Members to answer that includes areas related to: •Transparency and accountability at the corporate level, including: publicly available company-wide health and safety policies, effective management systems with respect to the size of their organization, and clear roles and responsibilities for staff •PSAI Certificate of Compliance or Education for a significant percentage of staff and contractors that are service personnel •Health and Safety goals, actions and achievements, including workplace conditions, both on and off site •Effective and accountable supplier management practices to ensure sustainable sourcing of products, raw materials, ingredients and components •Discipline that leads to robust financial health for organizations, including best practices for insurance coverage and managing financial data Silver and Gold Member fee for Company Certification is $100/annually. There is no fee for Platinum Members. All eligible Members must receive a passing mark on their questionnaire and provide fully-completed, related documentation. The PSAI Director of Operations will make all decisions regarding pass/fail to ensure fair consideration for all Member companies. The pilot program will not have a third party audit. The PSAI may pull a Member’s Company Certification status at any time without dispute or refund as solely determined by the PSAI office to ensure the integrity of the program. For more information, stop by the PSAI Booth at Myrtle Beach to learn more! 13 PSAI Health and Safety Certification PSAI Certification Course Saturday, November 9, 2013 · 10:00 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. Cost is $60 for PSAI Members, and $110 for Non-Members. Note that a fully-completed registration form and payment MUST be received no later than Wednesday, October 30, 2013. The PSAI Certification Program began in 1992 in an effort to set the standard for skills and knowledge in our industry. Since then, over 1,200 individuals have taken the course and successfully passed the certification test. Certification is voluntary and all participants must attend the educational training and review. At the conclusion of the classroom portion of this training, each participant must pass a written test of technical skills and industry knowledge. If the participant is a restroom company employee, they earn a certificate of compliance. If the participant is a PSAI Supplier Member they earn a Certificate of Education. The training is the same for both, however the portable restroom Operator meets the compliance of an approved disposal facility, while a Supplier Member would not. It is important to note that the individual is certified, not the company. The PSAI Health and Safety Manual has evolved over the years to include training and reference material as well as a glossary of over 125 industry terms. Sections on industry standards and equipment include portable restrooms (pre-inspection, cleaning, delivery, placement, pickup), hand-wash stations, freshwater flush units, recirculating flush units, and restroom trailers. Other topics include disposal, winter service procedures, and spill handling procedures. The PSAI has produced a service video shown in training and provided to regulatory agencies on a worldwide basis. Training goes beyond day-to-day job responsibilities of a service technician to include treatment at the wastewater treatment facility, and gives insight into the science of this process. In addition, the manual covers the Americans with Disability Act, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, and HIV/AIDS and Hepatitis information as these issues pertain to our industry. PSAI Certification is the accredited licensing education for portable sanitation companies and/or their employees in Alabama, Illinois, Michigan, Minnesota Wisconsin and elsewhere. Other states are reviewing this program for accreditation. Certification is valid for three years before renewal. With different continuing education requirements, the renewing process will require a full classroom session within six years. Once a person has active certification, there is never a need to re-test. The program is available in Spanish upon request. 14 Portable Sanitation Association International CERTIFICATION REGISTRATION Date: NAME: JOB TITLE: ADDRESS: HOME PHONE: CITY PROVINCE / STATE ZIP / POSTAL CODE CELL PHONE: EMAIL: COUNTRY TEST SITES, DATES & PRICE Myrtle Beach, South Carolina Saturday, November 9, 2013 10:00 am - 2:30 pm Check if needed: Verbal Test Check the price that applies: PSAI Member $60.00 Non-PSAI Member $110.00 QUALIFICATIONS QUALIFICATION A: Experience as a portable sanitation worker.
