HCGA Executive Director Search Reopened: Apply or Share by October 16

Executive Director

The HCGA Board of Directors has reopened applications for our Executive Director position. Applications are due Friday, October 16, 2026.

The Board recently finished a first round of interviews. Before making a final choice, the Board wants to make sure it has seen the widest possible field for such an important role. Candidates from the first round are still under consideration and don’t need to reapply.

This hire comes at a pivotal time. Our 2026 strategic plan set HCGA’s priorities for its next chapter, including growing beyond policy advocacy into market development for Humboldt cannabis. The next Executive Director will lead that work.

If you know someone who could lead HCGA, please forward this email to them or encourage them to apply. If you’re interested yourself, we’d love to hear from you.
