Mandi Kerr, founder of The Global Hemp Association is committed to assimilating the entirety of the Hemp Industry into one body.
Mandi has spent her career bringing people together.
Just a few minutes of speaking with Mandi will have you admiring her innate ability to find what connects people. Something which, in her professional experience in marketing, event promotions, and networking events, has helped her bring businesses millions in revenue.
One day Mandi was at a CBD event, doing what she does best – meeting and mingling. She noticed that everyone at the event had the same passion for hemp, but a different way to use it.
Mandi wondered if she could connect everyone in this industry, and thus the Global Hemp Association (GHA) was born.
As the first nonprofit organization on the planet aimed at being the platform for unifying each market segment of the Industrial Hemp industry. Mandi began to organize symposiums dedicated to providing a network for all aspects of the industry to talk to each other.
Although GHA has barely launched they have produced over 200 videos of their symposiums. Which to Mandi, is just starting with their mission.
And, with the community showing increasing support, the GHA and Mandi are further fueled to proceed.
On the GHA Youtube channel, Mandi podcasts interviews with various leaders around the globe, not just hemp, but in any industry that can help grow the market and connect with other leaders to continue hemp’s exponential advance.
