2022 Social Equity Report
The term “Social Equity” is a hot-button topic in the cannabis industry. Ideas and ideals for social equity programs are discussed by advocates across the country, but until recently, there was no data to speak to the impact of these programs. This year, Supernova Women and the Minority Cannabis Business Association released individual reports gauging the return on investment and opportunities for properly implemented social equity programs. Join us as we review the findings in the reports and the implications for social equity owner/operators across the United States.
Amber Littlejohn, Executive Director, Minority Cannabis Business Association
Amber Senter, Executive Director, Supernova Women
Moderated by: Maritza Perez, Director, Office of National Affairs, Drug Policy Alliance
