Additionally, Marijuana Business Daily has just announced a new partnership with the Minority Cannabis Business Association (MCBA).
This effort furthers the goals of the largest minority business association in cannabis with the largest global conference in the marijuana space, Marijuana Business Conference & Expo (MJBizCon) by providing a face-to-face platform where minority business owners, and those interested in supporting the diversity of the industry, can come together to discuss the challenges and opportunities that exist.
“Education and networking are key factors that will propel success in the cannabis industry. This luncheon encompasses both with a focus on inclusion of communities of color,” said Jesce Horton, Cofounder and Chairman of MCBA. “We must be a diverse industry in order to build in a sustainable way. MJBizDaily is helping us to do this by providing a space for minorities to identify barriers and join with the industry to break them down.”
CEO and Co-Founder of Marijuana Business Daily, Cassandra Farrington, noted, “The importance of engaging minorities and ensuring a diverse industry is just the start of what he hope to achieve in this nascent industry. This is the beginning of a long relationship in an industry where breaking down barriers of all kinds is the norm, not the exception. We hope to see these opportunities continue to expand.”
MCBA will be one of the advocacy groups represented at the annual MJBizCon Mixer via Marijuana Business Daily’s Industry Giveback program. Additionally, the MJBizCon Minorities in Cannabis luncheon will he held Wednesday, November 15 at 12:45 pm in the Las Vegas Convention Center.
