A Message From DFW NACE Past President

Angie Moors

“I joined DFW NACE to strengthen my connections in the event industry. Not only did that happen, I was able to join a committee and move into a leadership position on the board of directors to give back to the industry. I highly recommend NACE if your new to events or a Veteran. It’s a great way to build local and National industry friends.”

Chris Horace, Inkredible Sounds
“NACE has literally changed the course of my career since the very first day I stepped out of college and into the unknown world of catering and events. I not only attribute my professional success to NACE, but have had the amazing pleasure of making lifelong friends that have become family through this amazing organization. You get out of it what you put into it and I am so glad that I have put my heart and soul in as I’ve received more than I could have ever expected in return.”

Dana Blaugrund, Urban Family Concepts
“As a 23 year industry veteran, I LOVE my NACE family. From our innovative programs & education to the amazing community – there are so many things that bring me back, month after month, year after year. I love how I am able to contribute through NACE to the events community.”

Kathryn Krieger, Mystic Kathryn’s Event Experiences
“I have loved being an active member of the DFW NACE Chapter over the many many years, from networking to building personal and professional relationships. I am proud to have spent my time over the years as an active committee member and board member, and now having the privilege to act as the 2023 President!”
