Each month, we spotlight a member who helps make NACE Charlotte such a special community, and this month we are excited to celebrate Christopher Goff with as our May Member of the Month!

This month’s spotlight is someone who jumped right in from the moment they became part of our chapter. Whether it’s volunteering their time, sharing ideas, or building connections, they’ve brought an energy that instantly made them feel like part of the NACE family.

Christopher quickly got involved with both the Hospitality and Programs Committees, always willing to help wherever needed and contribute to making our chapter stronger. Beyond that, they’ve also made an incredible impact by connecting with our student members and even providing internship opportunities to help support and encourage the next generation of hospitality professionals.

I still remember the first time I met Christopher. I greeted them like they had been attending NACE events for years because they just have that kind of presence — warm, welcoming, and familiar in the best way. The kind of person who makes you feel comfortable immediately and reminds us what this industry and organization are truly all about: connection and community.

Please help us congratulate our May Member of the Month… Christopher! 💛

A little spring cleaning can make a big impact 💙

This month, the NACE Charlotte community came together to support Lydia’s Loft by donating men’s, women’s, and children’s clothing for individuals and families in need throughout our community.

A huge thank you to our Community Chair, Katy Stopka, for loading up her car and delivering the donations to Lydia’s Loft’s main hub in Huntersville!

We’re proud to be part of an industry that not only creates meaningful experiences, but also shows up for the community around us.

There’s still time to join us in giving back. We’ll continue collecting donations through the end of June, and we’d love for our members and industry friends to help us fill even more bags before the collection wraps up! ✨

Each month, we spotlight a member who reflects the heart of NACE Charlotte, and this month we are proud to celebrate with as April’s Member of the Month.

This month’s Member of the Month is someone who helps make our chapter feel welcoming the moment she walks into the room.
She is always one of the first people you’ll notice — not just because she’s there consistently, but because she brings such a warm, positive energy with her. She always has a smile on her face and is genuinely inviting and easy to talk to, whether you’ve known her for years or you’re attending your very first meeting.

She’s also the kind of person who doesn’t hesitate to jump in and help whenever it’s needed. And if you’ve been to our events lately, you’ve probably noticed she’s usually accompanied by her coworker — which we love, because she’s clearly helping grow our community just by sharing what makes Charlotte NACE so special.

She comes to most of our meetings, makes a point to connect with everyone in the room, and helps create the welcoming environment that keeps people coming back. Simply put… she’s a great person and a wonderful part of this community.

Please help me congratulate our Member of the Month… Lauren Campfield!
