I recruited someone that is knowledgable of the non=profit world and is excited about helping. She made some great suggestions.
1. The name Humboldt Growers Guild is too casual. Maybe something like Humboldt Economic Growth Council would be better received. I think I agree with that. Considering the name change. Growers Guild does sound more like a trade group.
2. We should figure out our specific goals and strategy before bringing in too many people. That way we will be able to be clear about our objectives and not get muddled up in too many differing opinions.
3. Our overall goal is to support the development of a legal cannabis production industry that favors the small producers. We want to prevent as much negative impact on the local economy as possible as legalization materializes.

I think you need something in your name related to cannabis. But I’m interested.

On the name, I suggest simplicity and clarity. What Kym said, too. Oh, and you might want to avoid anything that looks like a cutesy acronym. I didn’t want to criticize HuGGs after the fact, but I think you’ll be taken more seriously if you go with something that sounds more serious.
