Events

National REV UP Meetings are designed to keep you up-to-date and engaged. Each call kicks off with important updates, like upcoming funding opportunities or timely policy actions. Then, we dive into a featured discussion topic, often with an expert guest speaker.

To make the most of our time together, you'll also join small breakout groups where you can share ideas, strategize, and learn with others.
