“Oaksterdam University consistently exceeded our expectations. Their commitment to supporting cannabis equity applicants through comprehensive workshops, training, and individualized assistance was exemplary. Furthermore, Oaksterdam University demonstrated remarkable dedication and adaptability. When other technical assistance providers were unable to continue their services due to budget constraints, Oaksterdam University stepped in to ensure continuity of support for our equity applicants. They effectively absorbed the responsibilities of the other providers and remained the sole provider throughout the contract term, which originally began with three providers. This proactive approach was crucial in maintaining the integrity and effectiveness of our program.”
