About Dylan Summers — VP of Government Affairs at Lazarus Naturals

Throughout his time in the industry, Dylan has performed the role of salesman, processing technician, project manager, and interim roles in marketing and finance. Today, as VP of Government Affairs at Lazarus Naturals, he primarily assists with navigating the policy and compliance realms on federal and state levels—interfacing with various boards, committees, and associations concerning industrial hemp and lobbying efforts. In his role as the founding member and President of the Association of Western Hemp Professionals, he advocates with business allies across five states for hemp and hemp-adjacent operations. As a technical advisor, he recently was able to help land a historic $10 million grant from the USDA that will help define economic opportunities for hemp in the western United States. As an invaluable generalist, Dylan serves as the Director on the board of the Industrial Hemp Association of Washington in addition to representing us on the Cannabis Committee of the American Herbal Products Association.

From a humble start in farmers markets to the industry leader we are today, Lazarus Naturals was founded on the belief that CBD should be affordable, effective, and accessible to all. Since 2014 we've crafted products of the highest quality at the lowest cost by handling everything ourselves—from our sunny Central Oregon farm to your front door. Being vertically integrated means we oversee each step of the process, from seed to sale, so you know what you're getting. (Among 111 CBD companies recently tested, Leafreport found our labels to be the most accurate in the industry.) The Lazarus Naturals Assistance Program is at the heart of who we are as a company and offers 60% off to veterans, individuals on long-term disability, and low-income households. As the brand that's “Made to Work. Made for All.” we are proud to offer products that are vegan, kosher, and USDA Certified Organic. With cGMP, B Corp, and Leaping Bunny certifications, customers can rest assured we'll never place profits over our purpose, our people, or our planet.
