    I strongly encourage any of you who are thinking of coming to this event to first treat yourself to a chocolate tour of Theo Chocolate in Fremont, if you haven't already. Theo's is the only all organic and fair trade chocolate manufacturer in North America. Besides enjoying tasty samples of a plethora of Theo's chocolates, you will have an insiders view of Joseph Whinney's facility and may be better able to appreciate his sharing of his experience even that much more.

       Joseph related his experiential background of his chocolate journey, starting when he was a child, which led him to the adventure of starting a chocolate manufacturing company from the ground up. Fascinating! His information and views were encouraging of the industry overall, and it is exciting to see how his dedication and transparency to the chocolate industry is really making a difference in the lives of those from the plantations all the way to the consumer with the end-product. Theo Chocolate is breaking new ground and is already a world class leader not just for their dedication to Fair Trade and single origin chocolates, but for the depth of consumer education and involvement they offer. We are extremely blessed and lucky to have such genuineness of character in a man like Joseph leading the charge for world wide improvement of people and product. Joseph gets my vote for International Man of the Year!
