Empowering Women, Leading Change: Feb. 17-18 in Washington DC

WASHINGTON, Dec. 3, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- In the wake of the 2024 elections, the Women Grow 2025 Leadership Summit is calling on women--and their allies--across all cannabis sectors and from every background to unite for the survival of the industry and fight for women's basic healthcare rights, the right to use cannabis as medicine. This year's summit, taking place from Monday, February 17, through Tuesday, February 18, at the Gaylord National Resort and Convention Center, National Harbor, Maryland (minutes from Washington, DC), will feature three-time Olympic gold medalist and six-time WNBA all-star, Brittney Griner. Her story of resilience and messaging, Cultivating Change: Empowering Women through Personal Leadership, underscores the Summit's mission.

A Call to Band Together for Legalization, Women's Rights and Progress
