Jared Younker, Chief Compliance Officer - As a published author/editor for cannabis industry-specific books (“IRS Code 280e Simplified” and “420 Delivery: A Complete Guide to Starting a Medical Marijuana Delivery Business in California”), Jared has a clear understanding of starting cannabis businesses and managing compliant operations. Jared puts his expertise to use working with cannabis startup businesses, exceeding 200 new corporations.

Evelyn Slater-Shew, Compliance Officer - Evelyn wears multiple hats as a CREC compliance officer, event coordinator and social media marketer.
