The Put People First! PA (PPF-PA) Membership Assembly is our largest yearly gathering, open to brand new folks and experienced members. Join us from 5 pm Friday, October 25th, to 12 pm Sunday, October 27th, 2024 at a hotel in Camp Hill, PA. (You’ll receive the exact location after you register). We’re coming together from across the state, the country and internationally to build community and celebrate the year. We will reflect on what we’ve learned from our twelve years, strategize together, share art and culture, and envision the years ahead!
This year Put People First! PA will be holding our 12th Annual Membership Assembly as a fully in person event. More details to come for fully virtual attendance for members and national partners who are not able to attend in person.
The Membership Assembly will provide free of charge meals, snacks, childcare, transportation and housing, well as masks and COVID tests to take before and while gathering in person. We’ll have vans and carpools to transport members from different regions across the state. PPF-PA’s COVID protocols require that all in-person participants be vaccinated and have at least one booster. PPF-PA will provide at home tests for in-person participants to test before leaving for the Assembly Thursday and Friday mornings, as well as Saturday and Sunday morning at the assembly. Anyone who is exposed to Covid in the week leading up to the assembly (whether symptomatic or not) is required to contact the Covid safety team. Masks will be provided and are optional. If you have any questions or concerns about this policy, please let us know in this registration. These protocols will be sent to everyone who registers to review.
Register here TODAY! Registration deadline is Saturday, October 1st!

PA is a member-led, staff free organization and all of our labor takes place on the basis of commitment, not compensation, including the extensive and time-consuming fundraising that allows us to hold the Membership Assembly. We recommend that everyone contribute at least $5 as you’re able. The actual cost is about $366 per person.
