In an effort to grow membership and educate the next generation in our industry, our chapter has decided to reach out to students in hospitality programs at local colleges. We will be inviting students to attend our monthly educational meetings.  We will also be looking for our membership to reach out to the students by being guests speakers at the local colleges and mentors to the students.

By getting students involved in NACE now, we can expect them to continue their membership with us in the future.  Students will receive hands-on educational experiences, one-on-one mentoring program, matching student with catering and event professionals to broaden their understanding of the industry and social networking opportunities with future employers.

In return the chapter will be part of educating the next generation.  Networking with students at our chapter meetings may lead to new hires for you and your company.

We encourage you to network with the students that will be coming to future meetings.  Feel free to offer guidance, career advice, and your overall expertise!

If you are interested in being a guest speaker at a local college please contact Ron Harris at ron@ronharris-music.com or Julia Labandz at julia.labandz@gmail.com.
