There are many ways women use their talents to support their families and communities. Many of these women are running small businesses that contribute to their income and community vitality.
How you recognize them is important too. A simple way to celebrate women leaders is by naming a product or service after them. This can be a great way to recognize and praise those who contribute to the cannabis industry, from business owners to public figures.
By having a small product or service named after a woman, she can start a business as soon as she gets off the ground and runs out of money. Having this recognition can help build trust in the cannabis industry and help recruitment for future companies.
There are many ways for companies to recognize female employees. Some ways are through events and reviews, providing equal opportunity in the workplace.
Recognizing women who help shape the cannabis industry
There are several ways to recognize women leaders. The most common is through awards. Several cannabis companies in the industry sponsor award shows such as the High Times Cannabis Awards, and the ACBDE (American Cannabis Business/Entrepreneur Business/New Venture Fund) Recognition Awards.
A second way to recognize women leaders is by creating programs and events honoring them. Many organizations that focus on women’s rights and social justice have special events or capitalizes on recent developments to honor a woman leader.
Another way to recognize women leaders is by creating programs and events recognizing them. Some examples of this are a Women’s Day event, a reunion for former leadership, and a festival dedicated to celebrating her work.
Recognizing women who help shape the cannabis industry
There’s a growing demand for women-led companies in the cannabis industry, and big brands are looking to add female executives to their teams.
Women are more likely to ask for help, take advice, and share ideas. According to Harvard Business School, people who feel confident in their ideas and able to influence others are more likely to work effectively.
When it comes to running a business, men tend to be the leadership type. But there’s a rising demand for women-led companies in the cannabis industry. Women can make as much money as men and have the same level of satisfaction in their careers, according to CareerSourceofCalifornia.com.
To meet this demand and celebrate women leaders in the cannabis industry, here are ten companies in Northern California that offer opportunities for aspiring CEOs to learn from and interview with them.
Celebrating Women’s History Month
Women have made significant contributions to history all around the world, and in the cannabis industry. From prolific writers and storytellers to groundbreaking scientists and politicians, women have been leading for almost every era of history.
From being sentenced to death for her marijuana convictions in 1933 by a drug court judge in San Francisco, to today’s female-led tech titans, women are continuing to show leadership even after becoming more common than men in positions of power.
It is time we recognized this continued legacy from these influential women and celebrated it. Women have a tendency to focus on themselves more, which can make them feel like they are not contributing enough when they hold only little positions of power.
By having women hold prominent roles in the industry, we are showcasing our true abilities and feats without making a difference.
Recognizing all of the women in the cannabis industry
There are many reasons why women choose to work in the cannabis industry. There are high rates of violence against women, and their access to employment in the space is limited. There are also unique roles for women in the space, such as managing a business or providing emotional support.
At a basic level, women find business management tasks more intuitive and effective than men do. They also earn lower salaries than their male counterparts, which plays a big role in increasing the number of female CEOs.
There are several ways to raise your visibility within the cannabis industry. Some ways are through networking events and meet-ups, attending industry conferences and presentations, working with non-profit organizations that focus on cannabis regulation and sales, and participating in political campaigns directed at improving your position in business and policy fields.
Exploring the nature of women and their relationship with marijuana
Our culture tells us that men are dominant, women are emotional, and marijuana is for medicinal purposes only.
While these assumptions about gender are true in some situations, they do not apply to the cannabis industry. In the cannabis industry, women play a significant role both as business leaders and consumers.
Businesswomen command higher salaries than their male counterparts and attract more investors due to their expertise. Consumers looking for a casual smoke want products produced by women, as they feel more intimate with them and/or relate to them better.
Even though marijuana is legal in several states, there has been recent controversy surrounding its production and consumption due to health concerns such as cancer and strokes.
The pot business is not only full of women, but also diversity
Female cannabis entrepreneurs don’t seem to be a thing, especially not in the industry leadership positions. This is dishearteningly ironic, considering how important women are in representing their value and creating change.
As the world views them as delicate and caring, not only in social interactions but in business dealings as well, this can put more pressure to meet expectations and goals.
To highlight this point, there were only two men behind the counter at My Green Market in West Hollywood when I went shopping last month. This is definitely something that needs to be addressed as it seems people are out of touch with what people want and need in today’s society.
Hopefully change comes soon because these cannabis stores are full of idiots who don’t know what they want or need, which is dangerous.
Women are making tremendous strides in the cannabis industry
Women are making tremendous strides in the cannabis industry. There are more women running marijuana shops and starting businesses in California than men, a testament to their hard work and determination.
Most of these women are running small businesses, but some have gone all-in and become prominent figures in the industry. Some have even changed the way companies approach retail operations and financing for start-up firms.
One woman that has a significant impact on the cannabis industry is Pattie Harlan Adams, owner of SunRise Cannabis Bank in Redwood City. She is known for her leadership skills and her willingness to communicate with customers and staff.
Here are some inspiring female leaders to follow in the pot business
There are many ways to celebrate women’s achievements, and cannabis is a industry that meets all of the right notes.
Celebrating women in any business is a great way to boost morale and keep people motivated. It also demonstrates respect and puts you in a position to reward others in the future.
The cannabis industry is growing at an impressive rate, causing positions to become available quickly. Already, there are several cannabis companies with women as chief executives. These leaders introduced new products and marketing strategies, created marketing strategies, and led their companies into new territory all while facing the same challenges – stress, communication, and succession planning.
To make room for more female leaders, the Chamber of Commerce of Southern California has created the Rebel with a Caress leadership program to find talented female leaders in the cannabis industry.
