New board directors manage the US Hemp Building Association<\/span><\/a> and its sister non-profit US Hemp Building Foundation for two-year terms.\u00a0<\/p>\n Elected president was Clifton \u201cRay\u201d Kaderli, a New Braunfels, TX-based hempcrete builder <\/span><\/a>and CEO of the Hemp Build Network.<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n \u201cOver the last few years this new trade association pioneered a new element of the building industry,\u201d Kaderli said in a message to HempBuild Mag. \u201cI am honored to carry this momentum forward as hemp in construction makes its way into the mainstream.\u201d<\/p>\n \u00a0Subscribe for HempBuild Magazine\u2019s free newsletter<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n Other elected directors included Ryan Doherty, CEO of Boulder, CO-based Hemp Ventures<\/span><\/a>, as vice president; Fort Collins, CO-based Jean Lotus (editor of HempBuild Mag) as secretary and Michael Knight, founder of the Hemp Accountan<\/span><\/a>t in Charleston, NC, as treasurer. Three new directors at large are Matthew Bruce, CEO of Hackettstown NJ-based Herbal Vybz<\/span><\/a>; Tai Olson, director of operations for Chicago-based US Heritage Group<\/span><\/a> and Santa Fe, NM-based architect Alex Sexsmith, AIA, NCARB, LEED AP. All board members are unpaid volunteers who are members of USHBA.<\/p>\n Twelve candidates <\/a>ran for seven positions. The election sought to gain input to the board from the association\u2019s 10 regional leaders<\/a>, and achieved that goal, said Henry Gates, Jr., the outgoing president. <\/p>\n Hackettstown-based Bruce said he wants to increase communication between the executive body, the regional leaders and all members, \u201cto make sure that we are meeting the needs of our communities throughout the US.\u201d Of the USHBA, Bruce said, \u201cThis organization means a lot to me as I focus on implementing hempcrete and other industrial hemp based products into our communities both domestically and internationally.\u201d<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Graymont Ltd. <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Piece by Paz Engineer <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Homeland Hempcrete<\/p>\n <\/p>\n HempStone <\/p>\n The small-but-mighty USHBA was formed in 2019<\/span><\/a> by a group with select experience in building with hemp \u2013 a rarity in the United States since the material had only been legalized in the United States the year before in the 2018 Farm Bill. At that time, any hemp used in US building materials had to be imported.\u00a0<\/p>\n The US Hemp Building Association is a membership organization dedicated to \u201csupport and advocate for hemp building professionals, projects, and materials in the United States,\u201d according to its website. <\/p>\n In 2022, the organization was able to successfully certify hemp-lime \u201dhempcrete\u201d wall infill insulation in US building codes<\/span><\/a> with an appendix in the International Residential Codes. Former Executive Director Jacob Waddell and Former President and Certifications Director Henry Gage Jr. coordinated a group<\/span><\/a> of international experts who devoted hundreds of volunteer hours to the project.\u00a0<\/p>\n Moving forward, the association would be continuing to focus on \u201cawareness [of hemp building materials] and collaboration,\u201d Kaderli said.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n DON Processing <\/p>\n <\/p>\n US Hemp Building Assn. <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Stuc-Go-Crete <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Hemp Traders <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Hempitecture, Inc <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Hemp Today<\/p>\n <\/p>\n HEMPALTA <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Sativa Building Systems <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/a> Offered as part of a special partnership between USHBA and HempBuildMag.
