Eli Harrington is an experienced social entrepreneur with nonprofit management, event-planning, and digital media expertise and experience. An eighth-generation Vermonter, Harrington graduated from Brandeis University and worked for six years in international relations in Burlington and Boston before returning to Vermont in 2014 to pursue social entrepreneurship in his home state (and snowboard).
In 2015, Harrington participated in the inaugural Vermont Cannabis Collaborative study group and shortly after, co-founded Heady Vermont in early 2016 as a digital media outlet and cannabis events company. He has coordinated over 50 legal cannabis events in Vermont impacting over 10,000 attendees, ranging from hemp farmers markets to founding and coordinating the Vermont Hemp Fest; Vermont Cannabis Convention; and The Headies...thus far.
As an advocate and policy expert, Harrington has appeared in Rolling Stone, VICE, and High Times Magazine and was named the 2018 Vermont Cannabis Activist of the Year for the New England Cannabis Community Awards.
Interviewing Rick Steves in early 2017
Harrington now works as an independent consultant as the founder of Greenbridge Consulting, and is a registered lobbyist in Vermont, where he lobbies independently on behalf of Greenbridge Consulting interests and has launched, “Vermontijuana”, a brand that produces cannabis podcast and other media, hosts and coordinates events, as well as promotes cannabis advocacy and activism.
