Our next CNOC LIVE Speakers Series guest joining us is Debbie Churgai, Executive Director of Americans for Safe Access.
We will hear about the mission of Americans for Safe Access and how they are shaping the way to advance the knowledge and education of medical cannabis and further research. You can access this talk right here on FB live.
As the Executive Director, Debbie manages all day-to-day aspects of the organization, including ASA’s Patient Focused Certification (PFC) and Cannabis Care Certification (CCC) programs. She has served as a writer, editor, and reviewer on many ASA publications including the Cannabis and Cannabis Resin Critical Review Document that was sent to the United Nations. Debbie first entered into the medical cannabis field by helping a company write their State license applications for cultivating and manufacturing medical cannabis. She worked in conjunction with horticulturists, physicians, and patient advocates and learned a great deal about the industry.
She joined ASA in February of 2016 as the Executive Assistant to the Executive Director, Steph Sherer and quickly worked her way up to managing programs. Her previous work experience was in the Behavioral and Public Health fields working on projects in tobacco regulation and substance abuse prevention and treatment. She holds a Master’s degree in Psychology.
