Social Connections: Follow Your Heart and Follow Your Passion

Event description
Join us for our social connections event at Kakao Chocolate in Maplewood for a private chocolate tasting. We will learn about the chocolate making process in an informal presentation from a Kakao chocolatier and share inspiration with other HBA members. We will learn about the journey from corporate America to founding a successful business based on the passion for excellence and the love of exquisite chocolate.

We will learn all about chocolate – where it comes from, how it’s made and what makes it so good, and so good for you. We will taste a selection of chocolates, learning how they make each one, by hand with all-natural ingredients.

So whether it’s the love of chocolate or learning about the success of the “second act” in a long and distinguished career, we hope to see you in Maplewood on February 17.

This event is for HBA members only. For more information on how to become an HBA member, please check our website or contact us.
