Ilissa Nolan serves as the Executive Director for the Texas Hemp Coalition. Ms. Nolan was one of the few lobbyist that worked to pass HB 1325 which made it legal to grow and process hemp in Texas. She also serves as a government affairs consultant for Booth & Associates P.C. where she works to build policy through stakeholder collaboration and educating clients on cutting edge issues surrounding state and federal environmental matters, especially topics involving agriculture, rural affairs and environmental issues.

She stops by the podcast to talk all about the stress of the final week of Texas legislative session, how she became an expert in agriculture at a very young age, and what's next for hemp policy in Texas.
