Highlighted Members

Member Spotlight – April 13, 2017

It’s time to appreciate a couple of our members, we are calling this our: Alliance
Members Appreciation Moment.

Each month we highlight one of our long term members and welcome one of our
new members. As your Alliance Membership Director I believe in community,
connection and networking and I am adamant that we all get to know other
Cannabis Alliance members a little better. This form of networking, is a net and
this net WILL create a powerful foundation of support as our industry evolves and
moves forward, especially during uncertain times. We are more powerful when
we join together – so jump in the net! And besides you never know who you
might want to meet!
