Hemp Industry Leaders United in Action
August 6, 2020 
The National Hemp Association (NHA) has formed a new Standing Committee Of Hemp Organizations, which represents outreach to an industry that has been recently impacted by a variety of factors, from COVID-19, drastic drops in commodity prices, challenges building industry processing and infrastructure, and public scrutiny of some non-profits in the industry.
“NHA wishes to create unity and progress and execute in a manner that continues its several years of successful industry support and organization building,” says NHA Chair Geoff Whaling.
Organizations joining the Committee will incur no cost to join and be provided with additional input into the strategy executed at the NHA, and receive additional support on their own objectives that align with those of the NHA.
“We have discussed for several years how to best grow the organization and solicit more input without overwhelming our organization or negatively impacting its focus,” says NHA Treasurer Alex Seleznov.
“We have so many new initiatives and announcements forthcoming, and I couldn’t be more excited to have this new way to elevate the voices of other like-minded hemp non-profit organizations“ says Executive Director Erica Stark.
“While each hemp-producing state can be characterized differently by laws, climate, culture, processes, or target applications, the potential to join the best efforts from across the nation to create a federal framework to supercharge the burgeoning U.S. hemp industry is an opportunity few are granted in their careers,” Stark says.
