Wana's CEO Nancy Whiteman was honored by Out Boulder County, an organization that provides resources, programs and advocacy for the LGBTQ+ community in Boulder County, CO.

Nancy and the Wana Brands Foundation team visited Out Boulder County to celebrate the life and accomplishments of Clela Rorex, a civil rights hero from our very own hometown. As Boulder County clerk, Clela issued the first same-sex marriage certificate in United States back in 1975 and continued to use her voice to advocate for equality among all until her final days in 2022.

Our CEO, Nancy, also had a chance to speak to her deep gratitude for the folks at Out Boulder County and all they do for the LGBTQ+ community. The Wana Brands Foundation made a $500k donation as a part of their capital campaign, and is honored to be a part of their work. This donation has contributed to creating a safe space at Out Boulder County for those in the LGBTQ+ community, including the creation of the Clela Rorex conference room, where ideas for change will grow into realities.

When it came to doing the difficult work of fighting for basic human rights, Clela often offered these insightful yet simple words: "Just do what's in front of you." May we all take these words and put them into action in our every day lives in Clela's honor.
