PART THREE: How can creatives and nonprofits benefit from the cannabis industry?

ABOUT THIS EVENT:

The Cannabis industry is booming all around us, but for those of us with already established niche careers or interests, it might be a challenge trying to figure out just how to benefit from the green rush.

On Saturday, February 22nd, The Doobie Room along with The Arts of Humanity, are meeting with community members, artists, and non-profit founders/employees to discuss where they might fit in with the Cannabis Industry. We aim to keep our panel discussions at a size that allows for engaging, honest, and comfortable conversations. Our expert panel so far includes:

James Flagg: Principal Officer at The Doobie Room, Community & Economic Development Specialist, 501(C) 3 Business Owner

Vau’Ve Davis: Author of 100 Ways to Make a Difference and Charity Expert.

Erica Brooks: Campus Director at Cosmology School and RAW Artist

More panelists will be announced upon confirmation.
