2020 Cannabis Compensation
Survey

Survey administered by Cannabis At Work and Global Governance Advisor. We have partnered with Global Governance Advisors (“GGA”), which has allowed us to increase the scope of the survey to provide greater analysis of compensation levels, design and practices in the cannabis industry given their industry leading status in advising cannabis industry boards on compensation and governance practices. GGA will also be assisting in data processing and report creation, maintaining the confidentiality of all line-by-line compensation data for participants.
