Join us at the start to hear the latest on h**p development in Puerto Rico — then stay for two hours of conversation with the leaders shaping the industrial h**p market across New York, Connecticut, and Puerto Rico.
We are launching a new version of Voices for Progress, featuring a mobile app built around task-at-a-time agile project management, and First Friday is our new monthly space for community, strategy, and opportunity.
Tune in for the first half to get an update from the team that founded the NYS Industrial H**p Community Working Group. Learn about the NYS Hub and Spoke approach where Cornell and RPI are working with NYS counties to create new products and services. A team in Ulster County is already insulating homes with Spray Applied H**p-Lime.
In the second half, Maggie Favretti — Co-Founder of The Alliance for the Mystic River Watershed — will share their plans and an opportunity for community leaders to learn about the h**p market in CT. You will also hear from Freedom Gerardo — Founder of Seamarron Farmstead, LLC — on their plan for CT's new farmers, including an opportunity to receive $10,000 to learn how to farm five acres of h**p.
Join for the full two hours or drop in when you can. Confirmed speaker times will be posted before we go live.
