Hemp Building Association Announces Special Election for 2 Board Members
By US Hemp Building Association
The US Hemp Building Association this week announced a call for candidates for a special board election for two new at-large members to join the trade association’s board of directors.
The goal of expanding the board to nine members is to stagger board terms to “enhance institutional memory and ensure a smooth transition between boards,” the board said. The volunteer board will be composed of nine members, including five at-large members and four executive members: President, vice president, treasurer and secretary. Existing board members are in the middle of two-year terms which end December, 2024.
The seven members of the current USHBA board were all elected in December of 2022, and the first year presented challenges because board members were new.
“After a year, the current board pretty much has our procedures and processes together, but right after we were elected we had to schedule extra work meetings and get acclimated,” said Jean Lotus, board secretary.
Candidates for the volunteer board have until February 15 to apply. On February 17, the board will announce the candidates and online voting will take place between February 21-Feb. 28. The new board members will be sworn in in mid-March.
The board positions are unpaid and terms are two years. Candidates running for the board must be current paid members of USHBA, the association said.
