Monarch and The Giving Tree have established themselves as cornerstones of the Valley. At the helm of each dispensary: Jennifer Dresbach and Lilach Power, respectively. They’ve emerged as leaders in the medical cannabis sphere in Phoenix and elsewhere in Arizona.
When it came time for Monarch to revamp its creative fundraising strategy, the team looked to Power’s exemplary history of community engagement in the greater Phoenix area. She had worked at Chrysalis in the past, before entering the medical cannabis space, and she joined an inspirational brainstorm session last fall that landed on the pre-roll idea. Chrysalis was a natural outlet, she says.
