United Way of Pennsylvania is bringing our network together across the Commonwealth for a series of Regional Meetings designed to help United Way teams connect, learn from one another, and have some fun along the way.
UWP will host two one-day regional meetings in 2026. The first occured on July 21 at Milton Hershey School. We invite you and your full teams to join us at one or more meeting based on your interests and availability! Registration is $35 per person and is limited to United Way staff and Board Members.
Each meeting will include a mix of breakout sessions, collaborative conversations, and opportunities to learn from one another’s work across the network as well as a fun networking activity!
