HICKSVILLE, NY -- January 15, 2019 -- InvestorsHub NewsWire --
Canbiola, Inc. (OTCQB: CANB), is pleased to
announce that Senator Ronald A. Silver has joined its Corporate
Advisory Board. The purpose of the Advisory Board is to
assist and advise the Board of Directors and Executive team’s
effort in growing Canbiola fiscally and in a socially responsible
manner and the Company welcomes a man with extensive legislative
and regulatory experience.
Senator Ronald A. Silver was first elected
to the Florida House of Representatives in 1978 and continued his
tenure in that body until 1992. While in the Florida House Silver
served in major positions including Majority Whip (1984-1986) and
Majority Leader (1986-1988). He also chaired various committees
including the Select Committee on Juvenile Justice, Criminal
Justice, Ethics and Elections and the subcommittee of
Appropriations on General Government. He was then elected to the
Florida Senate in 1992 and subsequently re-elected, serving as the
Majority (Democratic) leader for the 1994 session. During his
last term in the Senate, he was designated by both the House and
Senate as the Dean of the Legislature recognizing his standing as
the longest serving member. His career as a lawmaker has yielded a
vast and extensive knowledge of public policy issues and the
legislative process, allowing him to be an advocate and servant for
his diverse community. Throughout his tenure in the House and
Senate, Mr. Silver has been known to tackle tough issues, transcend
partisanship and build strong coalitions and in addition served on
the Judiciary Committee, which heard all condominium issues. As
Senator, he served on a variety of committees and was chairman of
both the Appropriations Subcommittee on Health and Human Services
and Criminal Justice. His career in the Senate has earned praise
from his colleagues, in both the legislature and other branches of
government throughout the nation. In 1993 Mr. Silver was elected
Chairman of the Southern Legislative Conference (17 Southern
States) of the Council of State Governments. Most recently, a new
prescription drug plan of Medicare-eligible senior citizens in the
State of Florida has been named "Silver Saver" in his
honor. Since his retirement from the Senate
in 2002, Mr. Silver also functions as President of his own
consulting firm (Ron Silver & Associates) and maintains his law
practice in Miami Beach, Florida.
Senator Silver along with advisory board member
Dr. Johnny Mack have been tasked with supporting the Company’s
efforts in broadening the acceptance of CBD’s medicinal benefits
into a broad range of applications including pain relief and
wellness programs.
Senator Silver states, “The opioid crisis is out
of control in this country and around the world and if we have an
opportunity to improve the quality of life for people in a
noninvasive, non-addictive manner we have a moral obligation to do
it.” Further Senator Silver adds, “The passage of the 2018
Farm Bill opens up a full range of approval and opportunity for
expansion of the Canbiola mission and I am pleased to be on the
team.”
According to Canbiola’s CEO Marco Alfonsi, "Having
Senator Silver, with his legislative background and contacts, could
not be more timely with the recent passage of the 2018 Farm
Bill.” Mr. Alfonsi added, "Adding Senator Silver to the
Corporate Advisory Board gives us a dimension of accessibility and
understanding of the regulatory and governmental processes to help
the Company succeed and grow to its full potential.”
