This process is designed to ensure the Board reflects the evolving needs, expertise, and perspectives of the legal cannabis community.

Leadership at a Turning Point for the Industry

Both NCIA and the broader cannabis marketplace are entering a consequential period. Federal policy discussions are accelerating, regulatory approaches across marijuana and hemp are increasingly intersecting, and the national cannabinoid economy continues to expand in complexity and scale.

At moments like this, industry alignment and credible leadership are essential. NCIA’s Board of Directors plays a critical role in helping the association convene stakeholders, advocate for workable regulatory frameworks, and support operators navigating a rapidly shifting environment.

Directors serve staggered two-year terms, balancing continuity in governance with the introduction of new ideas and leadership.

The incoming and returning members will serve alongside directors currently in the 2024–2026 term:

• Adam Rosenberg, President, Vlasic Bioscience
• Amy Larson, SVP of Sales & Marketing, Rx Green Technologies
• Kim Cargile, CEO, A Therapeutic Alternative
• Monica Gray-Fong, Co-Owner, Nice Guys Delivery
• Aaron Smith, Political Director, Unite America

Together, this leadership team positions NCIA to strengthen its role as a national advocate and a forum for collaboration across the cannabis ecosystem.

The Board has also confirmed its officer slate for the upcoming term:

• Chair: Adam Rosenberg (re-elected)
• Vice Chair: Amy Larson
• Treasurer: Naomi Granger (re-elected)
• Secretary: Jordan Isenstadt

These officers will form the Executive Committee responsible for supporting governance and strategic oversight.

Looking Ahead

NCIA’s mission remains focused on supporting a safe, equitable, and economically vibrant cannabis industry. The 2026–2028 Board brings together experienced leadership and new perspectives at a time when thoughtful coordination and active engagement will shape the industry’s next phase.
