We’re proud to see our VP of Organizational Development, Steve Chassman, featured on Power & Politics with Rich Barrabi. This past Sunday, Steve joined the conversation to share expert insight on emerging concerns, and what they mean for our communities. During Sunday’s segment, he discussed the evolving landscape of cannabis and kratom, and the importance of staying informed as these issues continue to impact individuals and families. As conversations around cannabis and kratom continue to evolve, informed voices matter more than ever.
