How do you incorporate gender parity, social justice and environmental sustainability into your work and the growth of your business/organization?

I incorporate gender parity into my work and the growth of my organization by raising awareness and speaking publicly on gender parity as it relates to the cannabis industry, actively engaging with Women Grow, advising newcomers and championing a diverse workforce. From giving back to the community to operating at the highest professional standards, Berkeley Patients Group has embedded corporate social responsibility into the very fabric of their DNA – and that philosophy is reflected in everything I do.
