PA-Only Events

Pennsylvania offers “PA-only events” in addition to those offered by National TSA. These events are held at the state conference and, if a region chooses, at the regional conference.

Please note that rule changes may be announced for each individual regional and state conference. Refer to your conference web page for information about these changes.
