Holland owns Little Rock-based Amplify, a newly-formed digital media and marketing company.
Her job with the ACIA includes creating and implementing a marketing plan and to develop a membership program for patients, doctors and business owners and managers in the medical marijuana industry.
“This is an important moment for ourassociation, one I think every nonprofit strives to get to,” Storm Nolan, ACIA president, said in a statement. “We knew Erin had the knowledge and experience we needed for this role, but what we didn’t anticipate was her passion for ourcause. You can’t have the brains without the heart, it doesn’t work like that.”
