Whistle-blowing board members at a trade association for the US hemp building industry complained this week about irregularities in a board election and said that reported election results were unreliable. Winning candidates who had unpaid dues were stripped from the ballot after the election was over, whistleblowers said.

The USHBA announced that 10 members had flung their hats into the ring to run for the board of directors in the December 2024 elections.
