Each year NACE, the National Association of Catering Executives holds an induction ceremony to ring in the new year with a new board of directors. During this ceremony, they also honor one deserving NACE member with the Rising Star Award. The recipient of this award is recognized for their unyielding dedication, desire to excel and commitment to excellence. This year Embassy Suites Charlotte's own Allison Myers was honored with this distinguished award for her outstanding accomplishments and contributions to the Charlotte Chapter of NACE.
Allison is the Programs Co-Chair for NACE and wholeheartedly plans each of the Charlotte chapters monthly meetings and special programs. In November of 2007, Allison dedicated months of planning, along with NACE President Cortenay Matters and immediate past President Linwood Campbell, the 8th Annual Crystal Ball. The event was held on Allison's home turf, Embassy Suites Charlotte, and she took special pride and extra care to make sure no detail was left undone. The event was so well planned and the theme so thoroughly executed that it was also honored at the induction ceremony.
In October 2007, Allison assumed a new challenge and transitioned into the Corporate Catering market at the Embassy Suites Charlotte where she plans everything from corporate meetings to seminars to company kick-off events. No matter the market, Allison is a planner at heart with a natural flair for bringing concepts to life. The decor at tonight's induction ceremony was evident of Allison's eye for detail and passion for event design.
Tonight was a night of recognizing and showing appreciation for all who contribute to making the world of Catering and Event Planning the exciting and rewarding industry that it is. Our very own Culinaire International Food & Beverage Director, Matt Mellon, attended the ceremony to present Allison with her award. They were both all smiles!
The industry in which we work is fast paced and demanding and often we perform a thankless job. By the time the details are finalized, the courses are served and the clients are bid farewell, we are on to another event and on to making another client's vision a reality. Tonight, the Charlotte chapter of NACE and the Embassy Suites Charlotte paused to recognize, to honor and to thank Allison Myers, a Rising Star.
Congratulations!!!
