WHAT’S NEW IN 2022!
CGD has been on hiatus during the pandemic but this year, we are exited to be hosting events again with renewed energy and a commitment to making Green Drinks better than ever.
The steering committee is working to improve our communications, streamline our processes and make CGD more equitable, just to name a few areas of focus this year.
Grow Purpose will now serve as the central point of connection and information for Green Drinks, in conjunction with our CGD Facebook & CDG Instagram accounts
We also agreed to integrate the UN’s sustainable development goals more explicitly into our work.
Please get in touch if you would like to be more involved in Charleston Green Drinks 2022!
