We are excited to celebrate the graduation of our first cohort of J.S. Held’s Leadership Excellence and Development for Risers (LEDR) program! Our LEDR program serves as a launchpad for next-gen leaders within our organization to play a pivotal role in shaping J.S. Held’s future. Twenty-two Risers graduated from this six-month, multi-touchpoint leadership program, experiencing a variety of developmental tools created exclusively for our company.

Among program highlights were the capstone projects that wrapped up the LEDR experience for our graduates. These projects involved an extensive three-month phase of learning application, culminating in presentations to a panel of internal leaders. We are proud that the capstone projects will be integrated into our strategic ecosystem, leveraging the graduates’ valuable insights and expertise gained.

Hemp-derived CBD (cannabidiol) and related products have experienced a significant surge of interest in the health and wellness industry over the past several years. But while hemp has been legalized at the federal level as a result of the 2018 Farm Bill, the proximity of hemp to cannabis sometimes gives bankruptcy courts pause when considering bankruptcy relief for hemp businesses. For hemp companies that are struggling, bankruptcy may not be an option. In this article, Paula Durham, CFE, CCCE, and Scott Evans discuss the advantages of utilizing a state court receivership as an alternative to bankruptcy for distressed cannabis businesses which also applies to hemp businesses. They also outline the areas of expertise a receiver should have to tackle the various legal and tax complexities facing these types of businesses.
