  As many of your know, Arizona’s hemp bill (SB 1098) was signed into law by Governor Ducey on May 14, 2018. As a result, there is a lot of interest and several HIA members have engaged me to discuss galvanization in the state. Members and non-members are welcome to attend this meeting. 

  Meeting is proposed for Saturday, August 18th from 3PM - 5PM.
  >>> PLEASE RSVP HERE. <<<
