Nonprofit Organization Management - Wilmington, Delaware, United States
The PCA was formed as a result of an overwhelming need stemming from: (i) an uncertain regulatory and legal environment affecting everything from the very legal status of store-front collectives, to landlord-tenant rights, to the uncertain nature of federal intervention, (ii) the absence of an industry-wide body serve as a political voice and to speak to elected representatives and government agencies, and (iii) the need for an organization that promotes and encourages the industry to act and operated in the best interests of all stakeholders. The PCA is committed to addressing all of these needs while ensuring our organization adheres to the same high standards we expect of our Member Collectives.The PCA is also committed to rationalizing the confusing and combative environment in which legally sanctioned Collectives must operate in San Diego. The first step we have taken to achieve this goal is to form the PCA. Until now, Collectives were largely isolated actors operating alone and in fear of not only their own government but also criminal elements. The organization's main reason for existence is to improve the relationship the medical cannabis community has to the larger governmental and non-governmental organizations in San Diego.
