<br />infused product development, and dispensary operations. With the cumulative experience and diverse
<br />expertise of our Management and Advisory Teams, DSWC will be at the forefront of patient care, Cannabis
<br />science, community service, and good business practices. Our organizational structure is illustrated in
<br />Exhibit 21. Critical changes to DSWC’s organizational structure are disclosed in Exhibit 22.
<br />2.B.i Board of Directors
<br />
<br />The Board of Directors is the governing arm of DSWC. As such, the Board is ultimately responsible for
<br />overseeing all aspects of the organization, including but not limited to compliance, finance, patient services,
<br />community relations, and community services. The Board of Directors will receive input and guidance from
<br />the Advisory Board, state and local regulators, and community stakeholders. The Board of Directors will
<br />provide direction to the Operations Team. Board of Director biographies are included in Exhibits 23-26.
<br />
<br />The Board of Directors consists of four highly qualified individuals, each with strong Bay Area ties. Our
<br />President/CEO, Dr. John J. Oram, PhD, is a Bay Area native with over eight years of Cannabis industry
<br />experience, expert knowledge of Cannabis science as it relates to product development and quality
<br />assurance, a proven track record of entrepreneurism, and extensive experience working with state and local
<br />governments on complex issues. Our Treasurer/CFO, Mr. Nico S. Enea, is a Bay Area native with four years
<br />experience in corporate finance and business development. Our Director of Community Services, Mrs. Rose
<br />Padilla Johnson, is an active San Leandro businesswoman and community member with decades of
<br />commitment to social services. Our Director of Government Relations, Mr. Gordon Galvin, is a long-time
<br />member of the San Leandro community who has served San Leandro in local government capacities and has
<br />helped bring countless jobs to this city.
<br />2.B.ii Operations Team
<br />
<br />The Operations Team is responsible for managing the day-to-day activities of DSWC, including inventory
<br />management, patient services, patient compliance, security, cash management, and human resources. The
<br />Operations Team will report directly to and receive guidance directly from the Board of Directors.
<br />
<br />Our Operations Team currently consists of an interim Chief Operations Officer, Mr Nico Enea, and a
<br />General Manager, Mr. Michael Cavalli. Mr Enea is on the DSWC Board of Directors and will fill the COO
<br />role until operations are stabilized. Mr. Michael Cavalli, is a Bay Area native with over four years experience
<br />in the Cannabis industry providing back-office support, marketing, sales, and customer service for local
<br />cultivators, dispensaries, and delivery services. Mr. Cavalli is currently the General Sales Manager for
<br />CCSAC INC, a Bay Area cultivation and production collective with statewide distribution. Mr. Cavalli has
<br />an excellent working knowledge of Cannabis and Cannabis-infused products and is able to effectively
<br />communicate that knowledge to colleagues and patients.
<br />2.B.iii Advisory Board
<br />
<br />Our Advisory Board consists of PhDs, registered pharmacists, a corporate attorney, community members,
<br />and a policy analyst with significant medical Cannabis experience. The Advisory Board is tasked with
<br />providing information and guidance to the Board of Directors. The Advisory Board will meet regularly to
<br />discuss the evolving needs of DSWC and to provide non-binding strategic advice to the Board of Directors.
<br />The combined accredited academic and experiential knowledge of our Advisory Board will enable DSWC to
<br />provide Cannabis-based medicines and patient services that are second to none. Cutting edge Cannabis
<br />science will be combined with culturally sensitive, progressive, and forward-thinking informational materials
<br />that will help educate the San Leandro community on the benefits and risks of medical Cannabis. Through
<br />this unique collaboration — to our knowledge the first of its kind —DSWC will not only be able to improve
<br />access to medical Cannabis, but will do so in a way that puts emphasis on real information and genuine
<br />public health outcomes. Initial Advisory Board members are listed in Exhibit 27.
