Are you a leader (or aspiring leader) in the cannabis industry? Is Diversity, Equity, Anti-Racism and Inclusion on your priority list? This webinar will be getting these big ideas into actionable takeaways.

The authors of the recently-released Arcview WIN/ NCIA white paper series will be discussing the state of the industry and how businesses and individuals can embrace gender parity every day. The research, data, personal stories and case studies demonstrate why gender parity is crucial to business success in any industry, especially cannabis.

Join us on April 21 at 3pm EDT to Build New Foundations in the Cannabis Industry! In celebration of 4/20 and in honor of those that have come before us, this webinar will dive into the toolkits and the outcomes that will create Gender Parity, through Ownership, Leadership, Boards, Pay Equality, Branding, and Capital.
