DFW NACE at Experience 2008 in Philadelphia













Members of the DFW Chapter of NACE attended Experience 2008! The Future of Catering & Event Design national conference in Philadelphia last week.













Two of our members received some very deserved recognition. Dana Carroll (BBJ Linen) was the recipient of the National Affiliate (Event Professional) of the Year award and Luana Stoutmeyer (Encore Productions) was presented with the George Zell award.

The George Zell award recognizes NACE members whose commitment and compassion towards humanitarianism makes a profound and recognizable impact. These individuals represent the “spirit of NACE”. This award is named in memory of NACE member George Zell, who passed away in 2000. George was the quintessential NACE member, dedicated to his chapter and the national organization through leadership, volunteerism, humanitarianism, mentoring, and passion for the catering profession.

In addition to these awards, Terry Shields, Wendy Timson, and Dana Carroll were all named to the President's List. The “President’s List” recognizes NACE members that truly exemplify efforts and achievement beyond the ordinary member.

Congratulations to Dana, Luana, Wendy, and Terry! And congratulations to all the other award winners.
