LAKE ELSINORE, CA / ACCESSWIRE / December 3, 2014 / Aja Cannafacturing Inc. (OTC: AJAC) announced the appointment of Jesse Lopez to its board of directors. Mr. Lopez brings with him many years of experience in the cannabis sector, during which time he has made contributions to cannabis legal reform and environmental advocacy and provided consulting services on a range of cannabis-related issues.
However, Mr. Lopez is more than an activist for the cannabis movement. He serves on the boards of NORML and AZ4NORML as a national spokesperson, providing critical leadership and direction for the movement. Over the last 17 years, he has continuously volunteered his time to the cause. Recently, he was elected Vice President (2014) of AZ4NORML, a non-profit organization dedicated to reforming marijuana laws in the state of Arizona. Mr. Lopez is also one of the driving forces behind Arizona's Prop 203, which legalized the use of medical marijuana in Arizona. He most recently sponsored Az-SB-2211, which allows for the growth of industrial hemp, one of the largest agricultural crops in the state.
Mr. Lopez is the former Assistant General Manager of Dove Mountain Ritz Carlton Properties. He also held the position of corporate trainer for that company and opened three Ritz Carlton locations. Mr. Lopez is the former General Manager and Executive Chef of The Port of Long Beach Restaurant and Bar. He is the former owner of Dove Mountain Inflatables Inc. and was a corporate trainer for the Darden Restaurant group. He held the title of Training Director, in which capacity he personally oversaw the opening of numerous locations.
Aja Cannafacturing Inc's CEO Kendall Smith has said of Mr. Lopez, "Having someone of Mr. Lopez's caliber joining our team is the catalyst that will help drive our growth in the industrial hemp market. His experience and knowledge of various product categories and the development requirements that AJAC must meet for the construction and OEM markets is the key to our success".
