Letter to Addison from Past Members:

As you approach your 75th birthday, we wanted to do something to honor all you’ve done for women in the cannabis space and celebrate your life of service and support for all women.

We are eight of the original WCCC members. We were students in your cannabis business development and marketing classes in 2014 – 2015. 

You have never sought the spotlight or recognition, instead you have sought to help women live their best lives and be the powerful women they are. Each of us has a story of a moment or the day when you made us realize our power to become the successful business women we are today. 

We have had the privilege of spending time with you at WCCC events, conferences, expos and in alleys, parking garages and bathrooms. Your sense of humor, quick wit, one liners and profound stories with unexpected endings have delighted us and often changed our perspectives.

We decided that the gift we could give you that would be consistent with your mission and of the greatest value to you would be 20 membership scholarships to the Women’s Cannabis Chamber of Commerce. 

You taught us that “Giving Away Free Anything Attracts Freeloaders.” Our original membership was only $175.00. That $175 investment set us all on track to build million dollar companies. We will pay $200 of the current $375 membership cost, allowing 20 women to join for only $175.00.

We want to encourage all the other women who Addison has given the tools and power to succeed to also donate $200 towards new membership scholarships. This is the time in history that women in the cannabis industry need to come together and open doors for other women.

Addison, here’s the other catch; you have to post this letter (without our names) to all your social media. This time it’s about YOU not us. We want everyone to know how you have committed your life to helping other women live their dreams. Thank you. 

One year Scholarship Membership $175

 

Membership begins with a 30 minute Zoom meeting with Addison Morris, the founder and CEO, to learn what your career and business needs and goals are and how WCCC can help you achieve them.

The Women’s Cannabis Chamber of Commerce (WCCC) comprises a network of women engaged in diverse careers and businesses across all sectors of the cannabis industry. Each member possesses specialized knowledge that can benefit others within the organization. It is recognized that even established careers and businesses may encounter periods of stagnation. Through the Leadership Program, members are connected with peers possessing expertise relevant to their specific challenges, offering insights and potential resolutions. These consultations, typically lasting 60 minutes and involving two or more advisors, can significantly accelerate career or business growth, or facilitate a successful redirection. Participation in the Leadership Program is open to all members, both as advisors and as those seeking counsel, resources, or connections.

The Women’s Cannabis Chamber of Commerce employs an innovative strategy to highlight and promote women within the cannabis industry and their respective businesses, while also offering essential business guidance to fellow entrepreneurs.

Cannabis ClipNotes is conceptually derived from “Cliffs Notes,” a series of publications providing summaries and fundamental analyses of literary works, originally intended as study aids.

Cannabis ClipNotes are not interviews, but rather 15-minute informational videos showcasing a company and its expertise.

An introductory segment of approximately two to three minutes comprises the elevator pitch for the business, presented by Addison Morris, Founder and CEO of the Women’s Cannabis Chamber of Commerce. The content for this introduction is sourced from the company website, LinkedIn profile, or can be independently authored. It is recommended that the marketing team draft this introduction.

Participants are required to deliver 12 minutes of essential information on a subject reflective of their expertise, relative to their business, services, or products. ClipNotes serve to spotlight individuals and further establish them as authorities in their respective fields. The 12-minute presentation personalizes and humanizes the services offered. Authenticity resonates with potential clients. The incorporation of a presentation within the ClipNotes is strongly encouraged. The company logo will be displayed in the upper corner of the ClipNotes.

Cannabis ClipNotes is structured as a four-part series for each member, necessitating careful planning of topics and materials.

ClipNotes are pre-recorded and subsequently scheduled for live broadcast. Pre-recording allows members to schedule recording sessions at their convenience. Members may record all four ClipNotes in a single session or individually. Allocate 20 minutes for each recording session. Upon completion of recording, a link is provided to the presenter for review. Video editing or re-recording can be accommodated to ensure satisfaction before posting.

ClipNotes are broadcasted on the Women’s Cannabis Chamber of Commerce’s LinkedIn, Facebook Pages  and YouTube channel. Members have the option to simultaneously stream their ClipNotes to their own social media platforms.

It is recommended that the four Cannabis ClipNotes be scheduled within the first 45 days of membership.

Individual Cannabis ClipNotes are made available on the member’s dedicated page within the WCCC video business directory.

Members preparing to launch and startups can apply for the Mentoring Program. The Mentoring program includes two one hour Mentoring meetings with three-four members per month for three months. 

The Mentorship Program is available to members in the pre-launch and startup phases. It offers two one-hour mentorship sessions per month for a duration of three months, with a participation of three to four members in each session. One individual is selected per quarter. Mentors are rotated for each session to address the specific requirements of each business development stage. The success of the participant is conditional upon their diligent effort and active participation

 

The focus of the Think Tank is on professional business and career advancement, and the cultivation of a robust business community of women within the cannabis industry.

Participants are invited to pose business, career, or general inquiries pertaining to professional engagement within the cannabis industry. Participants are encouraged to identify resources sought to address challenges or facilitate career or business growth.

Opportunities for networking with like-minded women are available.

Those considering transitioning into the cannabis industry are welcome to seek insights.

Each participant possesses valuable knowledge, resources, connections, or solutions that may benefit other attendees.
