Tappan, New York, July 24, 2017 – National Cannabis Industry Association (NCIA) has announced the addition of Pro MAX Grow Chief Operating Officer, Christie Lunsford to its board, effective July 14, 2017.
“We are thrilled for Christie to join the board of NCIA,” said Pro MAX Grow CEO Jeff Gasman. “Christie has demonstrated her long-term commitment to NCIA over the last six years and her continued strong leadership is deeply needed. Pro MAX Grow is proud to support NCIA as the marijuana industry matures.”
“I believe the cannabis movement is a catalyst for greater social change. In no other industry is the intersection between social justice, agriculture, science, technology, sustainability and politics more impactful. Cannabis cultivators, product manufactures and dispensaries are all unfairly taxed – almost to the breaking point. NCIA is leading the charge to create pro-business policies in Washington D.C. and I am pleased to take part in creating strategies to insure the success of the cannabis industry and further legitimize cannabis as a plant medicine that serves both medical patients and adult use consumers,” stated Lunsford.
Lunsford has a vast amount of experience in every facet of the industry from indoor cultivation, extraction, product formulation and manufacturing, dispensing and application writing. As an industry expert, Lunsford advises clients throughout the U.S. on sustainable cultivation practices and mentors new cannabusinesses through her consulting company, Endocannabinoidology. Lunsford is a founding member of National Cannabis Industry Association, according to a news release.
