2022 Experience Corps National Meeting

National Meeting 2022

On June 22-24, 2022 our annual National Meeting welcomed more than 275 members of our network to three days of panels, workshops, and discussions exploring our program’s three primary focus areas: community and equity, education and literacy, and volunteerism and social connections. Keynote speakers and national partners addressed the year’s challenges and accomplishments, and subject matter experts advised our network on topics ranging from technology to volunteer recruitment.

In addition to exploring urgent topics and recent field research, our National Meeting also featured more than 20 professional development workshops for our staff and volunteers, programming that scored an average 95% overall satisfaction rating from the attendees.

If you were a participant or presenter at this year’s sessions, we sincerely thank you for your contributions. And we look forward to seeing new partners and participants at next year’s National Meeting!
