MCBA Equity Workshop Tour - Washington, DC
SUN 4.27 • 11am • FREE
The Minority Cannabis Business Association’s Equity Workshop Tour fortifies the presence and influence of our members and communities in the burgeoning cannabis sector, while fostering an entire ecosystem dedicated to an equitable industry. Providing a template for structured networking, education, and advocacy – all the components it takes in this industry – the workshops are designed to foster personal, business, and ecosystem development – all against the backdrop of real talk about the real state of affairs in this industry. Capacity is intentionally very limited - to 16 attendees - to be able to provide direct and intensive support to a small group of DC Cannabis industry licensees. Upon registering, you will receive a survey for us to learn more about the specific type of support you need, and to confirm that this workshop is the right fit for you, as well as to provide you with some homework to prepare for the workshop itself. Plan on attending for the duration of the workshop, so you can maximize the impact.
