Grab your dinner and join DCNI upstairs at Cava Grill for a discussion on the benefits of locally sourced foods. Our speaker, Jeff Prost-Greene, is the Director of Operations for Up Top Acres, a social enterprise that grows food on local roofs. This event will have a limited number of tickets to allow participants time to ask questions and engage in direct conversation with the speaker and other attendees. Please note that the ticket does not include dinner.
