The Roundtable is the leading business advocacy organization in
the hemp industry. It is comprised of dozens of leading companies
and organizations committed to safe hemp and CBD products. The
Roundtable works with elected officials and policy makers on both
the state and federal levels, with the goal of ensuring a clear
legal path for hemp and hemp-derived products, including CBD.
HempFusion has been a Roundtable member in good standing for over
two years and has served on the Executive Board since June
2020.
“I am truly honored by the confidence my peers have shown in me
by electing me to a second term as President of the U.S. Hemp
Roundtable,” commented Ms. Lessard, the first woman to ever serve
the office. “I strongly believe this organization will continue to
be the driving force behind much of the legislative progress for
hemp-derived products.”
“This year, our immediate objective is to achieve full clarity
for CBD as a dietary supplement. It’s an important and necessary
step for the entire hemp community, including everyone from farmers
and extractors to manufacturers and retailers, to be able to
flourish and realize our industry’s full potential,” continued Ms.
Lessard.
“I’m proud of the diversity the U.S. Hemp Roundtable has
actively sought out for Board representation and the industry as a
whole. The Roundtable’s 11 newly elected officers include five
women, four people of color and one member of the LGBTQ community,”
commented Jason Mitchell, N.D., HempFusion's co-founder and Chief
Executive Officer. “Congratulations to Ola for this incredible
achievement. We are proud to have her on the HempFusion team.
Additionally, this provides HempFusion a front row seat and unique
insight into the regulatory developments at the FDA.”
