Jennifer Flanagan will step down from Cannabis Control Commission
Cannabis Control Commissioner Jennifer Flanagan will step down from her seat on the Massachusetts cannabis regulatory body on April 30, she announced Tuesday.
Flanagan was appointed by Gov. Charlie Baker to serve a four-year term on the CCC as the body’s public health representative. Her term began on Sept. 1, 2017.
The announcement did not detail her future plans but said the resignation marks the end of a 25-year career of public service in Massachusetts.
“My motivation for accepting his appointment, and my primary goal throughout my term, has been to ensure the public health of Massachusetts residents remained a priority as the Commonwealth regulated legal cannabis,” Flanagan said in a statement. “I believe my contributions have kept that focus front and center as the commission has drafted and updated its regulations over the past three and a half years.”
Baker said in a statement his office is in the process of reviewing candidates to replace Flanagan and would soon make an announcement.
Before serving on the commission, Flanagan was a state senator for the Worcester and Middlesex district. She holds a master of science degree in mental health counseling from Fitchburg State University, as well as a bachelor’s degree in political science from UMass Boston.
