Meet Tatev Oganyan | Founding Attorney & CEO of The Oganyan Agency
Hi Tatev, how does your business help the community?
Community is at the heart of our practice. We are involved in at least one community event or pro bono project each month, primarily focused on human rights, education, women, or veterans. Most recently, we announced the launch of our pop-up café series — OG Garden Café. Our café series amplifies socially responsible brands to bring high caliber art and entertainment to our community. We featured a beauty bar in our cafe at Planet 13 Orange County during a Farmer’s Market. The event was a neighborhood sample sale and immersive experience of quality products. All our café vendors were 100% female owned and operated Orange County businesses.

Wisdom From The Women Leading The Cannabis Industry, With Tatev Oganyan of The Oganyan Agency
Thank you so much for doing this with us! Can you tell us the “backstory” about what brought you to the cannabis industry?
It happened largely by chance. Cannabis was not part of my everyday life before 2016. After passing the bar, I applied for an in-house position on Indeed at what I thought was a health and wellness start-up company in Orange County, California. During the final interview, the CEO disclosed the company’s industry — cannabis. After hearing that I was totally confused — is cannabis legal? After giving it more thought, I went home and began researching California laws on cannabis and realized that there were limited laws governing the industry. My mind changed from confusion to intrigue.
Rarely do lawyers shape the law while they practice it. I saw the challenge as my golden ticket to make history in a niche area of the law, so I took it!

Capital Perspectives: A Tale of Two Ambassadors
With the fourth week of our internship program coming to a close, we have grown accustomed to DC’s fast pace lifestyle, a city filled with thousands of interns and the inevitable possibilities of running into Members of Congress and government officials anywhere in the city.
Last week, for example, as we were headed to the Senate Appropriations Committee markup of the foreign aid bill, we ran into former Secretary of State and leader of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Colin Powell. The true Washington DC fashion, we introduced ourselves as ANCA interns and chatted briefly. That encounter was captured on film by a photographer for Roll Call, a Capitol Hill newspaper, and promptly posted online (with appropriate ANCA caption.)
