DESCRIPTION:In today's food landscape there are many choices for consumers and business 
 owners alike from organic and non-GMO to pesticide-free, natural and 
 beyond. Of course that's just about product. What about culture? \n\nAre 
 you interested in creating a conscious organization but don't know how to 
 get started? Join us for this exciting panel discussion and hear from two 
 organic food companies that have blazed the trail.\n\nDale Rodrigues, CEO 
 of Mary's Gone Crackers and the co-founders of Back to the Roots, Nikhil 
 Arora and Alejandro Velez will share their experiences in establishing 
 conscious culture, leadership, shareholders and purpose. They'll also talk 
 about how they've navigated important business challenges and 
 transitions.\n\nOUR SPEAKERS:\nDale Rodrigues is the Co-Founder, CEO and 
 President of Mary's Gone Crackers. Rodrigues heads Mary's Gone Crackers 
 accelerated growth strategy and is responsible for building all aspects of 
 Mary's Gone Crackers team. Under his exceptional leadership, Rodrigues has 
 established Mary's Gone Crackers as one of the premier brands in the 
 natural foods industry. Rodrigues is married to Mary Waldner, with whom he 
 created Mary's Gone Crackers. He resides in Paradise, CA.\n\n\nNikhil Arora 
 & Alejandro Belez, Founders of Back to the Roots. These two were a few 
 months away from graduation at UC Berkeley when they first heard that they 
 could grow gourmet mushrooms on recycled coffee grounds. Inspired by the 
 idea of turning waste into fresh, local food, they experimented in Alex's 
 fraternity kitchen, ultimately growing one test bucket of oyster mushrooms. 
 With that one bucket and incredible support from the community, they 
 decided to forgo their investment banking and consulting offers. Instead 
 they became full-time urban mushroom farmers and have since created two 
 award-winning products, the Mushroom Kit and AquaFarm, that are sold in 
 over 2500 retailers nationwide!\n
