What is NACE?

The National Association of Catering Executives (NACE) is a non-profit organization whose mission is to promote fellowship, education and professionalism in the catering industry. In addition to continual educational opportunities for its members through our monthly Chapter programs and the annual NACE Educational Conference, the Hawaii Chapter prides itself in being able to provide scholarships to students interested in pursuing careers in the catering/food service field.

What is NACE about?

  • NACE is about helping you build great business relationships, not only locally, but on a national level.
  • NACE is about making a difference in a student’s life by providing scholarships or serving as a mentor.
  • NACE is about encouraging professional development of caterers through voluntary participation in its certification program. Achievement of the Certified Professional Catering Executive (CPCE) designation
    demonstrates expertise in catering earned by taking a comprehensive examination that covers all aspects of professional catering.
  • NACE is about giving you new experiences.  Have you ever seen a walking buffet, seen chafing dishes on a chain fence, or attended a USO show on an aircraft carrier?  As a NACE Member, you will.
