DC Greens Executive Director Tiffany FitzGerald is pleased to announce the selection of Dan Schiff as the organization’s next Development Director, following a national search led by Good Insight. Schiff begins his new role May 16th.

“I’m honored to be joining the team at DC Greens, an organization that I’ve long followed and admired,” said Schiff. “I always learn a lot from the brilliant people at DC Greens, and I feel incredibly fortunate to be joining them in the fight for a more equitable and just food system.
