Jen Flanagan is currently the director of regulatory policy for Vicente LLP (formerly Vicente Sederberg LLP). Jen has a ton of regulatory experience, and previously held a distinguished position as one of the inaugural commissioners on the Massachusetts Cannabis Control Commission.

In her capacity as the public health appointee to the Commission, Commissioner Flanagan played a crucial role in developing, implementing, and enforcing the regulations that governed the emerging cannabis industry in Massachusetts.
Prior to her appointment to the Commission, Jen Flanagan served for over 13 years in the Massachusetts General Court, where she held various roles, including four terms as the State Senator for the Worcester and Middlesex District and two terms as the State Representative for the 4th Worcester District.
