Recognizing Dean's Beans Organic Coffee Company

Floor Speech

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Mr. McGOVERN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize an incredible local business in Orange, Massachusetts, Dean's Beans Organic Coffee Company, as it embarks on an exciting change.

Its founder, Dean Cycon, is retiring after 30 years of leading this people-focused business and turning the reins over to his employees. That is right. To end a successful career in the coffee business, Dean is giving control of the company to his employees who will share in its management, operations, and, of course, its profits.

Dean's Beans already has a storied legacy, partnering closely with their farmers, sourcing organic coffee, and paying a living wage. Workers receive health insurance that covers premiums, copays, and deductibles.

To many of us who know Dean, we are not surprised. He has led a career proving that you can make money, do good, and treat people with kindness, all while making a mean dark roast.

That is why I toast my good friend, Dean Cycon, and the entire team at Dean's Beans.

Here is to new stories and adventures and great cups of coffee along the way.
