Cheers to Change: A Happy Hour with Arkansas Times
I’m excited to announce the next Cheers to Change event! This lively series celebrates the young activists, influencers, and leaders shaking things up in Arkansas.
On October 24, I’ll be leading a conversation with Amanda Strickland, CEO of The Source, Craft Cannabis Dispensary and Apothecary. Amanda brings a fresh, culturally-informed perspective to the Arkansas cannabis industry, rooted in her background as a documentary filmmaker and storyteller.
Meet Amanda Strickland:
Amanda Strickland is a storyteller turned CEO with a mission to weave The Source into the very fabric of Arkansas culture. After earning a B.A. in Sociology-Anthropology from Millsaps College and an M.A. in English from the University of Louisville, Amanda spent nearly a decade abroad before returning to Arkansas. Her approach to the cannabis industry is grounded in community-building, with The Source supporting local nonprofits, musicians, and artists. Leading a diverse team of over 60 employees, Amanda is dedicated to making The Source a destination dispensary, crafting products that reflect the heart and soul of all Arkansans.
Join us as we discuss her journey, her vision for the future of cannabis in Arkansas, and how she’s shaping the industry with a community-focused, culturally-rich approach. Expect thoughtful insights, new perspectives, and, of course, drinks and good company!
Event Details:
- When: October 24, 5:30 – 7:00 PM
- Where: Copper Grill
- Tickets: $25 (100% of proceeds support the Arkansas Times Investigative Journalism Project)
- Drinks and small bites will be available for purchase at the venue’s bar.
As the Director of Digital Marketing at Arkansas Times, I’m honored to help drive our mission through philanthropy and connect with readers every day. To my core, I believe in this state and the power to be the change we want to see. I hope you’ll join us as we Cheers to Change.
