Individual Membership
Providing our members with information, education, and connections to other cannabis professionals and financial resources is a core component of fulfilling our mission. MCBA believes that all of our members – individual and company alike – should net tangible value from their membership.
Corporate Membership
This cause needs the financial support of established cannabis businesses and the assistance of individual members to make measurable gains in the representation of minorities in the cannabis industry as business-owners, employees, and patients/ consumers.Higher Promos
"Higher Promos is a third-generation, woman-owned and family operated promotional products distributor. Since 1959, our parent company (founded in Oregon) has offered corporate businesses the ability to put their logo on anything. When cannabis became legal in Oregon in 2015, we noticed a lack of professional branded merchandise distributors serving the industry, so we founded the Higher Promos division. We love to serve cannabis dispensaries, growers, processors, and ancillary businesses looking to promote their brands with unique & useful swag. Having smoked and grown medically for many years, cannabis has long been part of the family’s personal life, thus combining our knowledge and affection for Cannabis with our years of experience and expertise in the promotional products world. While our roots are in Portland, Oregon - a hub of the longstanding West Coast cannabis scene – Higher Promos actively seeks out clients in all new and emerging state-legal industries to help legitimize and grow our fellow small cannabis businesses." -Nancy Gudekunst, President, Higher Promos.
