Tomorrow and Friday, at the DoubleTree Suites by Hilton Hotel in Santa Monica, Hilary Bricken will be chairing a CLE on California Cannabis Laws and Rules, with a specific focus on SoCal’s cannabis business and regulatory scene. The event will be produced by The Seminar Group. You can see a copy of the agenda here.

In addition to our own Jim Hunt, Julie Hamill, and Alison Malsbury, some of the featured speakers include:

Lori Ajax, Chief of the Bureau of Cannabis Control, was appointed by Governor Brown in February 2016. Prior to her appointment, she served as Chief Deputy Director at the Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control where she spent 22 years working her way up the ranks, starting at the investigator trainee level.

Fiona Ma, CPA, Board Member, California State Board of Equalization (BOE), District 2, represents 23 counties and nearly ten million Californians in her District. As one of the few Certified Public Accountants to serve on the BOE, she is a strong voice for businesses and taxpayers – taking the lead in clearing the haze around the cannabis industry by holding informative stakeholder meetings discussing key issues.
