- Dan Andersen, Hilliard’s Chocolate System, West Bridgewater, MA
- Tyler Buffett, Buffett’s Candies, Albuquerque, NM (second two-year term)

Additionally, Jeffery Smith of Peterbrooke Chocolatier from Jacksonville, Florida was inducted to serve as the 2023–2025 president of the board of directors.
