28 We advocate for our member businesses with regulatory agencies and the legislature, resulting in positive changes such as removing quarantine, removing harvest date, and receiving a full year to implement rule changes. We consistently have a voice and a seat at the table with the WSLCB, WSDA, DOE, DOH and more. We've insisted stakeholder voices be heard during legislatively mandated agency reports such as DOE's Lab Accreditation Report, the WSLCB's Home Delivery report as well as being a participant in WSDA's workgroup on the establishment of an organic-like program for cannabis. We are leading the conversation as it pertains to testing and lab standardization, edible regulations, state traceability fixes, medical access, and small business protections. We participated in a UV exposure research grant in partnership with the UW. We are currently participating in impairment research in partnership with WSU. We are leading the effort to establish the first agricultural commodity commission for cannabis in the United States. We have created successful events for our membership and the broader community such as: The WA State Cannabis Summit, now in it's 5th year, Lobby Day, Kickball Tournaments, Member hosted mixers. We have hosted educational events and seminars such as: Trivia Night, The first Purchasing Managers Seminar in the state of Washington, Budtender Education, The Terpestival, A seminar on cannabis for WA State Court Reporters. We hired an additional employee as well as retained a contract lobbyist. Our membership numbers have doubled. We now provide Health Insurance for our members. We established a PAC and endorsed and supported candidates running for the State legislature. We are a member of AWB and participated in a panel for their membership on workplace safety.
