In Winter 2022, Diana was elected President of the Cannabis Beverage Association (CBA). The CBA is a national non-profit trade organization created to represent and support the rapidly growing cannabis beverage industry by uniting stakeholders and advancing the industry’s collective interests through advocacy and education. This year, Diana has led federal lobbying efforts on behalf of the CBA and CABA focused on educating policymakers and legislators to influence future infused beverage regulation, particularly low dose THC beverages to be regulated by the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax & Trade Bureau (TTB). She will continue these efforts to keep naturally-occurring cannabinoids derived from hemp legal in the next Farm Bill and push for sensible regulation for infused beverage at the state level.
