Salal Credit Union is proud to announce its sponsorship of the Minority Cannabis Business Association (MCBA) Equity Workshop Tour stop in Portland, Oregon. This community-focused event, part of MCBA’s national tour, will be held on Saturday, May 17, from 11:00 AM to 4:00 PM at Nimble, 9510 SE Main Street, Milwaukie, OR 97222.
The MCBA Equity Workshop Tour is a national movement dedicated to building an equitable cannabis industry from the ground up. Unlike large conferences or casual mixers, these workshops are intentionally designed to be interactive and participatory, providing a space for structured networking, education, and genuine collaboration.
Salal Credit Union’s sponsorship of this workshop reflects its ongoing commitment to expanding financial access and opportunity—particularly for communities historically excluded from the financial system. Through partnerships like this, Salal continues working to close the gap between underserved cannabis entrepreneurs and the financial resources they need to succeed.
“Our work in cannabis banking is grounded in a mission to create equitable access to capital and financial services,” said Christoffer McCollom, Business Banking Sales Manager at Salal Credit Union. “We understand systemic barriers have prevented many from participating fully in this industry. Sponsoring this workshop is one more way we can help support the success of entrepreneurs in cannabis.”
In addition to providing reliable banking services to licensed cannabis businesses across multiple states, Salal also actively partners with advocacy organizations like MCBA to promote equity, accountability, and opportunity in the industry. The Equity Workshop Tour aligns with Salal’s belief that financial institutions can—and should—play a role in creating more inclusive economies.
