On Tuesday night I had the privilege of traveling to the Emerald City of Seattle, WA to speak at the NACE, Seattle Chapter's monthly meeting. Wow, like the title says, you guys ROCK! What a
beautiful event! This month's event was planned by the one and only Jacques Bergeron, Private Event Director at the amazing Columbia Tower Club (where the event was held) and Immediate Past President of NACE Seattle. This private club occupies the 75th & 76th floors of the
Columbia Center building in downtown Seattle. Stunning 360* views from 76 floors up of Puget Sound, The Space Needle, and anything and everything Seattle! I was SO impressed by the energy and level of professionalism of this group. Jacques had each table designed by a different event/wedding planner/designer and the tables were breathtaking. Each designer was given a moment to talk about what inspired their design and showcase the many amazing vendors that made it all happen. I focused on weddings
for this talk, and the title of my presentation was. . . "Special Events, 2010 - Be Inspired. . . !" By the way, I stayed at the Hotel Vintage Park (amazing!) and received the most wonderful welcome note from General Manager Sandy Burkett (I LOVE the personal touch). Notice the napkin rings on the table featured here - bling! They were from David at Rented Elegance - amazing rentals! Thank you, Jacques, for inviting me to speak at your monthly meeting and to the entire NACE Chapter for your
amazing hospitality! More photos to come. . .

Lynne – We are continually amazed at the dedication and passion our NACE leaders and members have for their communities. Each month they come together to produce top-notch events with rich educational programs, and it appears this month was no exception for the Greater Seattle Area chapter. Jacques is a strong leader and we are proud of the hard work he put into taking his chapter to new heights during his presidency, and even more so at the inspiration and guidance he is offering to the new president and leaders. Obviously the members in Seattle were energized by your presentation and I’m sure they walked away with valuable information they can use to enhance their careers. Thank you for supporting our industry!
