Building New Foundations in the Cannabis Industry:

Creating Gender Parity through Ownership, Leadership, Boards, Pay Equality, Branding, and Capital

Building New Foundations in the Cannabis Industry: Creating Gender Parity through Ownership, Leadership, Boards, Pay Equality, Branding, and Capital, takes a hard look at gender parity in the U.S. cannabis industry. The research, data, personal stories, and case studies in this series demonstrate why gender parity is crucial to business success. The purpose of this series of papers is to urge businesses and individuals to embrace gender parity practices in their own organizations.

Longtime industry partners and cannabis research leaders, The Arcview Group and National Cannabis Industry Association (NCIA) champion equity, advocate for social justice, and help those affected by the war on drugs. Together, the two groups are honoring the inauguration of the first female Vice President of the United States through a series of whitepapers conceptualized by Andrew Kline, the former Public Policy Director of NCIA, and written by a collection of exceptional women.
