Dear Fellow Cannapreneur,

As we approach Spring and days filled with sunshine, it is a great opportunity to reflect and do some good Spring cleaning. This can include cleaning up your home, office, or car, or simply evaluating your business relationships. I highly recommend taking time to reflect and strategize your game plan and goals for the remainder of this quarter to help create a more effective environment for your life and company. It can also be used as an opportunity to show appreciation to the ones who support you.

With that being said, this month ICBWA is participating as a media sponsor for the upcoming Veterans Hero Ball presented by the Battle Brothers Foundation on March 23rd at the University Club Atop Symphony Towers to raise critical funding for research to treat PTSD and chronic pain within the veteran community. We would love to see you there to support the Battle Brothers Foundation and make a difference
