Each week Khadijah Adams hosts cannabis industry operators, advocates, and allies to discuss issues related to social equity and highlight their experiences, challenges and success stories as people of color in the cannabis industry. This episode, Khadijah looks back at some of the guests on Cannabis Industry Voice through season one, including Niambe McIntosh, Executive Director of the Peter Tosh Brand and the legendary reggae musician's daughter, Charles Penn and Corey Dishmen, CEO & COO of The Library, and Omar Figueroa, principal at the Law Offices of Omar Figueroa. With appearances from other Season One guests, you'll want to listen to this clip episode for anything you may have missed during the first season of NCIA's Cannabis Minority Report. 

Right now NCIA is accepting applications to serve on our committees, NCIA committees are an opportunity for members to get directly involved in specific industry issues and sectors. These volunteer-driven efforts engage members’ to drill down in areas of expertise and passion to effect change, provide professional development opportunities, and develop best practices and guidelines that will shape the future of our industry. 

There are 14 committees to choose from, including the scientific advisors committee, facilities design committee, diversity equity and inclusion committee, cannabis cultivation committee, and so many more. The NCIA Social Equity Scholarship recipients and new members qualify for committee placement and a goal of the scholarship program is to diversify the voices in leadership positions on the NCIA Committees and it is important for everyone to submit the information today, before the August 15 deadline.
