Klimas told the publication: “I approached the governor’s office in September and let them know I’d be transitioning out. So we’ve worked over the last couple of months to put a transition plan in place and he appointed Jimmy Humm, who I’m with right now and who’s going to take over the role.”
Humm added: “I am humbled and honored to be appointed by Governor Lombardo to serve in this role. I look forward to joining the incredible team at the Cannabis Compliance Board and executing the Governor’s agenda to ethically regulate this burgeoning industry.”
