Welcome to the Kansas City Chapter of the National Association of Catering Executives

Welcome Friends

A short 10 years ago caterers, hoteliers and many others in the hospitality industry banded together to charter the Kansas City Chapter of NACE.

Over the years this group has had an impact on the Local hospitality industry.  Whether it was voicing their concerns regarding business practices, networking, education or hosting a fund raising event  for a local charity, this group has worked to continue the Mission of NACE.

I am proud to say that with the help of many new and Charter members NACE in Kansas City is back on track.  Members from our Chapter just returned from the Educational Conference in Philadelphia. 

This year’s conference was outstanding  with the opening keynote speaker Walter Scheib the former White House Chef for President William J. Clinton and President George H. Bush.  Also, during the 2008 Educational Conference, there was lunch with Mindy Weiss, Celebrity Event Planner and great information from Linnyette Richardson-Hall from the Television Show "Whose Wedding is it Anyway?

Because of this, our KC Chapter is energized and ready to ramp up and grow the current membership with exciting programs and events for 2008 and into 2009!  I invite you back, get involved, chair a committee, host a program…

 

Truly your KC NACE Chapter President
