Dear Friends and Community Partners,
The Coachella Valley Cannabis Alliance Network (CVCAN) is pleased to invite you to our Community & Business Town Hall, a free, public forum focused on conversation, collaboration, and community impact in the Coachella Valley.
This Town Hall is designed to bring together community members, business owners, civic organizations, nonprofit partners, and the canna-curious for an open and welcoming discussion about how we can work together to strengthen our region.
Why Attend?
This is a listening forum — not a sales event — where your voice truly matters. Participants will have the opportunity to:
- Help shape CVCAN’s mission, priorities, and programming for the year ahead
- Share ideas on economic development, workforce growth, and cross-industry collaboration
- Explore ways cannabis and non-cannabis businesses can support one another and strengthen the local economy
- Discuss community impact issues, including public education, reentry, fairness in policy, rescheduling impact, and navigating an evolving regulatory landscape
- Contribute to ongoing efforts to normalize and de-stigmatize cannabis through respectful dialogue and education
Whether your interest is professional, personal, or simply curiosity, this Town Hall is intended to be a safe, inclusive, and judgment-free space to learn, connect, and be heard.
Meet the People Behind CVCAN
Attendees will have the opportunity to engage directly with CVCAN Board and Committee Members, ask questions, and offer feedback on how the organization can best serve the broader Coachella Valley community. You’ll also learn how to get involved — as a member, volunteer, committee participant, or community partner.
