Todd Johnson, a cannabis industry veteran who has previously served in leadership roles at the New Jersey Cannabis Trade Association, was named the group’s executive director Wednesday, the NJCTA announced.
In this new role at NJCTA, Johnson will be responsible for managing internal communication among member organizations and external communication efforts focused on reaching policymakers, government officials and other stakeholders.
Johnson also serves as a co-founder of Community Greenhouse, a mission-driven cannabis company that was recently awarded a conditional license to operate a retail dispensary in New Jersey.
Previously, Johnson served as treasurer of the NJCTA since 2020 overseeing the association’s expenditures and maintaining a balanced budget during a time when the association was deeply immersed in outreach to educate state legislators, regulators and the public on policies needed to build the state’s legal cannabis market into an equitable, profitable industry.
