NCIA Board Candidate Statement – Chelsea Hopkins
By Chelsea Hopkins, The Greener Side (OR)
I am very familiar with the working of a non-profit from an administrative and financial aspect, and as a cannabusiness owner, I have experienced every hypocrisy that comes with it. The cannabis industry needs reform that provides legitimate cannabis businesses the same rights as any other legitimate, responsible business, and a strong National Cannabis Industry Association has a huge role in rational reform. NCIA members are the roots that provide the strength to carry out its mission, which is the reason I want a seat on the board: to expand our voice, our impact and our potential to make great changes.
