A new association has formed to represent producers and consumers of cannabis beverages.
Consider joining CEO Update. Membership gives full access to the latest intelligence on association management, career advancement, compensation trends and networking events, as well as hundreds of listings for senior-level association jobs.
The Cannabis Beverage Association will seek to educate policymakers and consumers about the industry's products and advocate for "common-sense policies," according to the group's website. Ten companies have joined as founding members.
"The CBA provides for a much-needed unifying voice for the emerging category of cannabis-infused beverages," Macai Polansky, co-founder of the cannabis beverage manufacturer Spacestation, said in a statement to the news site Benzinga. "The founders of the CBA, the pioneers and stakeholders of this space, are up against onerous and cumbersome legacy regulations created before this industry segment had a voice."
The association's immediate goals include advocating for more realistic packaging requirements and loosening restrictions on use of alcohol-related terminology, according to the news site.
CBA's site does not list any employees or an office address.
