Gathering to share ideas, make new connections, rekindle old connections, and keep our mission moving forward is an essential pillar of Groundwork. We convene experts in culinary medicine to propel a new food culture, motivate clean energy leaders to move ahead on a net zero carbon economy, host extremely fun friend-raisers, and more. Join in!
