As a CPA serving cannabis operators for nearly a decade, I’ve seen how federal policy, or the lack of it, can make or break a business. I consider NCIA’s Lobby Days to be one of the most powerful benefits of membership. Being able to walk into congressional offices and speak directly to lawmakers about the real challenges our clients face, is essential in moving this industry forward. It gives us a voice in shaping policy that could help our clients survive another day, another tax cycle, or another year.

NCIA’s live events also create rare access to cannabis regulators, decision-makers, and industry pioneers. These are high-impact events where policy meets practice. The caliber of the people in the room is unmatched. From seasoned operators to leading-edge professionals, the networking is rich, intentional, and deeply valuable.

NCIA isn’t just another trade association; it’s where advocacy, education, and real business opportunities converge. If you’re serious about driving change and elevating your impact in this industry, you need to be in the room, and NCIA makes sure there’s a room to be in.
