Description
Women Grow, a national professional network supporting female leaders and entrepreneurs in the cannabis industry, will host its second Kootenay Region Chapter Signature Networking Event on March 3rd. Women (and men) in the cannabis industry or interested in it are invited to connect with colleagues, explore professional opportunities, and learn from expert guest speakers. Through our monthly events, our members develop authentic relationships via personal contact and networking. While our events are women focused, our networking series attracts both men and women to connect. Women Grow Signature Networking Events occur the first Thursday of every month.
Our event in Cranbrook will be focused around hemp cultivation in Canada and reworking the stigma surrounding cannabis and hemp culture. There will be presentations from hemp farmers and extractors from British Columbia and Saskatchewan as well as stories from local dispensary operators.
Please join us as we connect, educate, and empower our Kootenay women!
