WHAT WE DO

The Sonoma County Cannabis Alliance (formerly the Sonoma County Growers Alliance - SCGA) is a grassroots nonprofit group organized to educate, collaborate and advocate around personal, operator, and community rights and responsibilities in the cannabis space.

We work cooperatively with individuals, businesses, and regulatory bodies to educate our members and the community and to ensure that reasonable environmental, social and economic standards are set in place, helping cannabis operators within the community to participate and succeed in the regulated cannabis marketplace.

SCCAlliance brings together industry leaders from a variety of fields and sectors of the supply chain to educate and activate operators and community members. Our diverse supporter base includes cultivators, manufacturers, distributors, retailers, labs, patients, service providers, and neighbors.

OUR MISSION

The mission of the Sonoma County Cannabis Alliance is to develop and preserve reasonable environmental, social, and economic standards regarding cannabis in our community, and to support individuals and businesses working in this space. We work collaboratively with regulatory bodies and stakeholder groups to advocate for policy changes at the local and state level that allow responsible operators to succeed and thrive.
