| Dinner with Seth Goldman, CEOand Founder, Honest Tea |
| Event Date : | 17-Feb-2009 6:30 PM |
| Event Details : | Seth Goldman returns to speak to us after ten years. At that time he had quit his job at the Calvert Fund and founded Honest Tea, a company, located in Bethesda, MD, selling organic beverages. Honest Tea has made quite some progress in the interim. It has broadened its product line, and is one of the fastest-growing young companies in the country. Last year may have been problematical for the economy in general. For Honest Tea it was magical. Coca Cola bought 40% of the company for $43 million, and one of the presidential candidates, Barak Obama, discovered the product - a priority job of advance people was to make sure that some Honest Tea was always available as the campaign traveled around the country.
