North American Regional Meeting

The North American Regional Meeting (NARM) is an annual meeting of GLOBE U.S. Partners and Canadian community members. Over the years, the meeting has been held both in-person and virtually with opportunities for sharing, discussion, and networking.

The 2024 Virtual NARM was held 15-17 October. Over the three days, GLOBE Partners participated in skill-building workshops, listened the lightning talks, discussed ways to work together in affinity groups, and learned about grant writing and marketing best practices.
