Nevada Dispensary Association Introduces Executive Director Riana Durrett, Esq.
LAS VEGAS, NEVADA—A dedicated industry advocate and native Nevadan, attorney Riana Durrett joined the government affairs team of the Nevada Dispensary Association in February of 2015. In her current role as the association’s Executive Director, she is responsible for coordinating the NDA’s legislative and policy agendas as well as researching and responding to various issues that affect medical marijuana dispensaries in Nevada and performing crucial community outreach.
A natural leader and a driven attorney licensed in both Nevada and California, Durrett’s commitment to the regulation and growth of the medical marijuana industry cannot be understated. As NDA Executive Director, she enjoys the opportunity to facilitate cooperative efforts among NDA members who have invested considerable time and resources into the burgeoning medical marijuana industry in Nevada.
In addition to her duties as NDA Executive Director, Durrett is an attorney “of counsel” to Reza Athari & Associates and Connor & Connor, PLLC. Durrett is also a participant in Nevada Attorneys for Criminal Justice and Nevada Justice Association as well as a volunteer on pro bono legal cases with Legal Aid Center of Southern Nevada.
In keeping with her dedication to advocating for the medical marijuana industry while promoting policy that benefits the State of Nevada, Durrett is also president of the Nevada Marijuana Council, a council initiated by Senator Patricia Farley and Senator Segerblom that is comprised of industry leaders who seek to promote common sense regulation and balance the many interests of the medical marijuana industry. Durrett enjoys serving on the Nevada Marijuana Council with Amanda Connor, Esq. and is grateful to Senator Patricia Farley and Senator Segerblom for working with the industry to address its concerns.
