The Leadership Breakfast will be held at the Georgia Aquarium, the world’s largest aquarium, featuring more aquatic life than found in any other aquarium in more than 8 million gallons of water.
This year’s keynote speaker, sponsored by The Coca-Cola Company, is Seth Goldman, Co-founder, President and TeaEO of Honest Tea. Seth Goldman is President and TeaEO of Honest Tea, the company he co-founded out of his home in 1998 with Professor Barry Nalebuff of the Yale School of Management. Honest Tea is the nation’s best-selling organic bottled tea company, with products distributed through more than 30,000 outlets in every state, as well as overseas. Over the past twelve years the company has thrived with an annual compound growth rate of over 60 percent, as consumers have shifted toward healthier and more sustainable diets. In 2008, The Coca-Cola Company purchased a minority interest in Honest Tea, fueling further growth as Honest became the first organic and Fair Trade brand to move into the world’s largest beverage distribution system. Recently, Honest Tea was included on The Better World Shopping Guide’s list of "ten best companies on the planet based on their overall social and environmental record." Prior to co-founding Honest Tea, Goldman held management positions at the Calvert Group, a socially-responsible mutual fund company. He serves on the boards of Bethesda Green, The Calvert Foundation and Happy Baby. In 2008, Goldman was named Ernst & Young’s “Entrepreneur of the Year for Greater Washington D.C.”
The program will include our annual Earth Day awards program to honor and recognize our 2010 EarthShare of Georgia outstanding community partner, campaign leader, member organization, and the winning Corporate Green Day Challenge company green team. Whole Foods Market will contribute organic food for the Leadership Breakfast, prepared and served to guests by the Georgia Aquarium’s exclusive caterer, Wolfgang Puck Catering.
Table-top displays from EarthShare of Georgia and its environmental member organizations will offer business partners a chance to see their dollars at work and offer an additional networking opportunity for all guests.
