District Hall wouldn’t be what it is without the people that make up our community! Every week, we will feature a different member of the District Hall + Venture Café community so you can get to know the faces of our awesome team.
This week, we are featuring Evan Spetrini, who has been Program Manager at District Hall for the last 2 years. This fall, he is heading off to MIT to study City Planning. We’re not crying, it’s fine.
Where can we find you after you leave District Hall?
