25 Years!!!
Charting the Course
The Hemp Industries Association has been Charting the
Course for twenty-five years, and the stars are aligning
for more opportunity than we could have predicted just
four short years ago. It is my great honor to welcome you
to the 25th Anniversary Hemp Industries Association
Conference in Los Angeles. HIACON returns to California
after six years. The state is home to the most significant
number of members in any one state and an ideal lo-
cation to commemorate this silver anniversary event.
Some of the most dedicated and successful hemp trail-
blazers have called California home, and we look forward
to honoring them during the 25th Anniversary Panel
on Sunday led by HIA President and longtime member,
Joy Beckerman.
This year, HIACON is equal parts exhibition, education,
and celebration. We expanded from four to eight educa-
tion tracks covering the topics of Retail & Market, Health,
Innovation, Law & Policy, Processing, Genetics, Agrono-
my, and Standards & Regulations. Be sure to venture to
the Vape Lounge in the Malibu Garden courtyard to en-
joy the California sunshine and network. On behalf of the
Board of Directors and team, I’d like to thank all speakers
and sponsors for their commitment to this event and to
our cause. We will continue to push the boundaries for the
industries’ markets.
Another milestone is upon us next year.
Hemp History Week will celebrate its 10th year in
2019, and we’ll be hosting an extra special kickoff
event in San Diego. Now is a great time to join as a
sponsor and participate in the HIA’s national
marketing and education campaign.
Mark Your Calendars for HIACON 2019 to be held in
Charlotte, North Carolina at the Westin on
November 1st - 4th, 2019.
Please do not hesitate to engage with me, our team and
our conference volunteers to let us know how we can
ensure that you have a great conference experience.

HEMP ACTIVISM AT DR. BRONNER’S

David Bronner, CEO of Dr. Bronner’s, has been at the forefront of hemp activism, work-
ing to draw attention to the absurd policies that make hemp growing illegal in the
U.S. From his action in 2009, planting hemp seeds on the DEA lawn, to his action in
2012—locking himself in a cage in front of the White House to harvest hemp—David
has shown that it will take both lobbying and protests to make real change happen.

DR. BRONNER’S SUPPORTS HEMP INDUSTRIES ASSOCIATION

Seventeen years ago we became one of the hemp industry’s biggest supporters. We
added organic hemp seed oil to our soaps: hemp’s omega-3 fatty acids give our soaps
amazing lather and a rich moisturizing after-feel! Dr. Bronner’s is a founding member
of HIA and supports Hemp History Week and Vote Hemp. Our goal is to source from
American farmers the 20 tons of hemp seed oil that we use annually in our products.

Shaving soap available in Peppermint, Unscented, Lavender, Lemongrass Lime & Tea Tree. Pure-castile soap available in Peppermint, Baby Unscented, Lavender, Almond, Citrus, Tea Tree, Rose & Eucalyptus.

DR. BRONNER’S IS CERTIFIED

HEMP OIL IN OUR SOAPS IS
GOOD FOR THE SKIN & PLANET
Our products are certified to the strictest industry standards. Support truth in labeling! No greenwashing hype!

 CHAPTER UPDATE
Colorado HIA - Founded 2015
Hunter Buffington, President
The Colorado Chapter (formed in 2017), had some amazing
victories this year including: the recognition of industrial
hemp as an agriculture commodity by our legislature, the
inclusion of carve out language that protects industrial hemp
in the GW Pharma bill, identifying best practices for trans-
porting industrial hemp, creating an online survey to gather
information about the hemp industry from the hemp industry
and the creation of the Hemp Feed Coalition to gain FDA-CVM
approval for hemp in animal feed. We also formed a partner-
ship from Eurofins BioDiagnostics that gives a 10% discount
on ingredient and product analysis and creates a database of
these lab results to be used by the hemp industry for approval
of additional ingredients and quality standardization.
NEW! Illinois HIA - Founded 2018
Taylor Schuck, President
The Illinois chapter formed in 2018 is proud to announce the
passing of the 2018 Industrial Hemp Act of Illinois. The ILHIA
has submitted input on the Illinois pilot program’s rules and
regulations that should be released on December 24, 2018. As
we look towards 2019 we hope to help farmers and proces-
sors through the licensing process, create local cooperatives,
acquire seed stock, and source or modify the necessary
equipment to cultivate, harvest, and process industrial hemp
in Illinois.
Indiana HIA - Founded 2014
Jessica Noe, President
The Indiana hemp chapter (formed in 2014) had a complete
whirlwind of a year! Our membership has more than dou-
bled since last summer, allowing us to be invited to educate
about industrial hemp at numerous events and platforms.
INHIA hosted a full day of hemp education at Purdue Uni-
versity’s Horticultural Congress, educated farmers across the
state at Purdue’s Small Farms Conference, helped the Indiana
Farmer’s Union to for the first ever in history, hemp chapter
of the National Farmer’s Union, INHIA also made a first ever
historical appearance at the National FFA convention educat-
ing students and faculty about industrial hemp, the team
took part in lobbying to successfully passed CBD legislation
protecting consumers and retailers to possess and sell hemp
in Indiana (which allowed a booming CBD market to flourish
in the state), Indiana has became the top selling state for CBD
consumer products in the nation, one of our members had
the first ever harvest of 11 acres of hemp grain in the state of
Indiana
Want to start a state or regional HIA Chapter?
HIA requires a minimum of 15 in-state stakeholders, and we
have additional requirements outlined in HIA’s Official Chapter
Program Criteria. Email info@thehia.org for more info.

Kentucky HIA - Founded 2014
Chad Rosen, President
With close to 100 members and growing the Kentucky HIA
501(c)(6) continues to be a leading voice in the development
of the burgeoning Hemp Industry in Kentucky. To date, more
than 70 processors/handlers have obtained licenses in the
KDA pilot program. Processors have been working hard since
2014 to develop infrastructure with sufficient capacity to pro-
cess hemp grown by farmers all across the region. The 2017
Processor Production Reports revealed that licensed hemp
processors paid Kentucky growers $7.5 million last year and
the creation of 81 new full-time jobs. The licensed processors
also reported capital investments of $25.6 million and gross
product sales of $16.7 million for 2017.
Tennessee HIA - Founded 2013
Joe Kirkpatrick, President
Tennessee became the first of all 50 states to approve the
feeding of industrial hemp to livestock. We achieved this
over the objection of the Cattlemen’s association and worked
closely with the Farm Bureau to craft language that allows
us to identify animal products as “hemp fed” as long as they
do not commingle with the commercial food and feed sup-
plies. We also fought off a hostile amendment that tried to
undo what has become known as America’s best industrial
hemp consumer products bill. Finally, welcomed the South-
ern Hemp Expo to Nashville, Tennessee, the south’s first ever
hemp trade show. More than 3000 tickets were sold and the
TNHIA held it’s first coordinated Farm Tour.
NEW! New York HIA - Founded 2018
Joy Beckerman, President
The New York Chapter just achieved formal recognition in
mid-October, and we’re preparing for a year of building the
hemp economy! Live-streamed monthly and special meetings
that will allow members across the Hempire State to attend,
along with educational supply chain events and the formation
of committees to address specific needs are what’s in store for
NY HIA members in 2019.
NEW! Pacific Northwest HIA - Founded 2018
Formerly OR & WA HIA, now including Idaho
Courtney Moran, President
The Pacific Northwest Hemp Industries Association is pleased
to announce the formation of the first regional chapter of
the HIA. The PNW HIA represents members from Oregon,
Washington, and Idaho. Our Board reflects the diversity of our
geographic region and the many facets of our industry- an
attorney, a grain processor, fiber manufacturer, retail product
manufacturers, and CBD farmers. To date we have participat-
ed at several local conferences, including the Oregon Hemp
Convention and the RAD Expo, and have submitted a letter to
Congress recommending an amendment to the felony provi-
sions included in the federal Farm Bill to prevent interference
with our state hemp programs.
