Grosso Honored by DC Appleseed for Commitment to the District of Columbia

ArentFox Schiff is pleased to announce that Partner David Grosso has been honored with DC Appleseed’s Lifetime Achievement award for his dedication to democracy and statehood for the District of Columbia.

David represents clients in businesses where the federal and District of Columbia (DC) governments intersect. He was first elected to the DC Council in 2012 as an at-large member and has had a significant impact on the city through his focus on smart public policies, community engagement, and human rights.

As chairperson of the Committee on Education, he revolutionized the public education system, enhancing student success and disrupting the school-to-prison pipeline. His work extended across various committees, tackling issues like healthcare disparities, mental health access, and criminal justice reform.

David currently serves on the boards of DC SCORES and Mosaic Theater, and on the Advisory Committee for the Georgetown Project on State and Local Government Policy and Law (SALPAL). He previously served on the board of directors of Planned Parenthood Metropolitan Washington and the American Experience Foundation.

Through nonprofit partnerships and thousands of hours of pro bono hours donated by attorneys, business leaders, nonprofit advocates, and community members, DC Appleseed has spent the past 31 years striving to solve the challenges that matter most.

In April, David will be honored at DC Appleseed’s premier event, “The Annual Gershon Ratner Reception” on April 2. The event will celebrate the organization’s achievements and recognize the individuals and organizations that have made significant contributions to the DC community and to further the mission of DC Appleseed.
