The Council Annual Meeting
The Council hosted its inaugural Annual Meeting on November 6, 2025, celebrating a year of measurable impact and shared progress. The event brought together entrepreneurs, community partners, and state leaders to highlight how equity, access, and accountability are driving new opportunities across Connecticut. The Council also released its 2025 Annual Report, which features the first statewide summary of community benefits generated through Connecticut’s social equity cannabis program, showing more than $140,000 in nonprofit donations, over 600 volunteer hours, and dozens of new jobs created in disproportionately impacted communities.
