The Cannabis Regulatory Agency (CRA) is adding members to the standing Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Workgroup (DEIW) to empower stakeholders to take ownership in the programs that directly impact their communities and to continue to guide the Agency on issues related to diversity, equity, and inclusion.
This workgroup is held monthly, term length will last between 18 and 24 months, and the terms of the members are staggered.
Individuals interested in participating in the workgroup must send an email to CRA-SocialEquity@michigan.gov with WORKGROUP in the subject line – the body of the email must contain the following information:
- Your name
- Mailing address
- Email address
- Phone number
- Occupation
- Job title
- The name of the employer or organization with which you are affiliated
- A brief explanation (no more than 250 words) describing what diversity, equity, and inclusion means to you and the perspective you believe you can bring to this group
- Please do not include attachments with your email
The CRA will consider all email requests that meet these requirements, and any additional relevant information when establishing the workgroup. Requests and inquiries made via telephone or to other CRA contacts may not be accepted.
The deadline to email your request to participate in the workgroup is November 8th at 5:00 PM. Selections for the workgroup will be announced by November 22nd. If you are chosen for the workgroup, you will be notified directly by the CRA.
