Celebrating 5 years of TOGETHER-ing
December 12, 2025
Our coalition was radically reset and rebuilt from 2018-2019, and launched in its new form in 2020. Believe it or not, that was five years ago. So much has happened since! We’re going to take the opportunity to celebrate with our coalition and community.
Join us on December 12 for an end-of-year toast to mark five years of TOGETHER-ing as a region! This gathering will be a collective cheers to what the Bay Area has accomplished in conservation over the years, to the values and ways we’ve collaborated, and to the people who have made it all possible.
TOGETHER Conference
May 12-15, 2026
Save the date! Our popular week-long conference will take place from May 12-15, 2026 in San Francisco, online, and all around the Bay Area. Practitioners, learners, and professionals working towards climate resilience and equity are invited to join us for this regional gathering with keynote speakers, deep-dive breakouts, field trips, and abundant opportunities to connect with your peers.
This year’s conference theme will center on Pace, Scale, and Durability. We are going to get tactical and practical about how we move at the appropriate speed, right-size the scope and scale of our work, and build the relationships and interconnections for resilience and transformation.
Ongoing events for TOGETHER members
Policy Committee
Our Policy Committee meets every other Thursday to advocate effectively towards our policy priorities through values-driven, collaborative, inclusive participation of our coalition’s members. TOGETHER Bay Area encourages individuals from a variety of member organizations and with various levels of policy expertise to participate in the Policy Committee – it is an active learning, listening, and sharing space.
Staff and board members who are eligible to participate in TOGETHER’s advocacy program (nonprofits, Native Tribes & organizations, local public agencies, and mission-aligned businesses) are invited!

Ongoing events for anyone who is interested
Wildfire Data Working Group
Since April 2021, we have convened regular calls with professionals at nonprofits, public agencies, and companies who compile data about wildfire on the landscape. We meet every other months for 80 minutes to hear from speakers and facilitate regional conversations about timely topics.The WDWG is focused on regional coordination of data collected before, during, and after wildfires for informed decision making by land management organizations and agencies. TOGETHER Bay Area convenes this working group of data compilers to learn from one another, share information, and build our regional understanding of the impacts of fire on the land.
