Diana Gamzon, Nevada County Cannabis Alliance

Host Lori Burkart Frank pulls back the curtain with an in-depth introduction, tracing Diana’s life from growing up in Newton, Mass., loving animals, being influenced by family to be aware of social justice and world affairs, and heading off to college at Cornell University in Ithaca, N.Y. Working at a Wall Street firm motivated her free spirit to search for a less stressful environment without business attire and high heels, and she discovered simple living and a creative environment in Nevada County. Diana is a board member on the Nevada County Economic Resource Council and co-founded the Nevada County Cannabis Alliance where she is now the Executive Director. Her work focuses on helping to de-stigmatize the industry and help growers create permitted businesses while dealing with extensive regulation and high taxes.
