As a long-time Champion Level Partner with NextUp, PepsiCo’s members are supported in numbers by the PepsiCo NextUp Ambassador Committee, a group of individuals across all Divisions and functions at PepsiCo that live and breathe NextUp. This committee meets once a month, but also works within sub-committees to drive membership, engagement, retention, and representation across the organization. With 1,267 NextUp members, this is no easy task.

In addition to 1,267 members, PepsiCo also has 13 Regional Board Members and 14 Committee Leaders or Members supporting NextUp’s Regions across the Country. PepsiCo also has 1-2 Internal Connectors across all 21 NextUp Regions whose responsibility it is to drive engagement, PepsiCo representation, and support at Region events.

Maximizing member engagement is encouraged and rewarded. The committee tracks event participation and engagement through a Points Program and sponsored PepsiCo’s Top 10 most active members within NextUp with a FREE registration to this year’s Summit.  The PepsiCo NextUp Committee supports strong engagement at Summit every single year along with extensive planning and coordination behind the scenes to get over 300 attendees to Summit each year. Summit participation and sponsorship reinforces PepsiCo’s commitment to their members and to NextUp in support of our shared mission.

Thanks so much to the PepsiCo NextUp Ambassador Committee and for all the hard work and dedication that you put into integrating NextUp into PepsiCo’s culture.
