For 1st Vice President
I am running for 1st Vice President, as I have served on the NACE New Orleans board now for (3) years, I believe I have a great understanding of the goals of our chapter and the areas of opportunities for growth. I am excited for the opportunity to continue to develop my own skills, while providing our members with great experiences monthly.
My vision for the chapter is bringing our community back together. I know we have a lot of rebuilding to do post this pandemic and I cannot wait to offer our members exceptional experiences and prominent education. We will come back better and stronger than ever. My vision is we will go back to being one of the largest NACE chapters as well as a leader in many areas of NACE Nationally.
Biography
My name is Courtney Fields and I have been a socialite since I can remember. I am extremely extroverted and am happiest when I’m with other people. I found myself always hosting parties in high school, which led to my class asking me to plan our high school graduation for 600 people. This was my first taste of a large-scale event, and I never imagined it leading to a profession!
After graduation, this “born and raised southern girl” found herself stranded in the desert during college. While at the University of Arizona, I was involved in various organizations, and I somehow always found myself planning events. I must have planned 75+ events, but still never imagined it could evolve into a full-time career. During my freshman year, I decided to apply for the Leadership Consultant position for my sorority and upon graduation I was offered my dream job! I was so excited and couldn’t wait for the road ahead. I dedicated two years to training collegiate women on a variety of topics hoping to inspire them to become strong, independent women. This is my passion, and I am thankful I am currently volunteering with collegiate women at LSU and Tulane to pursue my passion.
After my contractual agreement with Alpha Delta Pi ended, I was offered a job with PRA New Orleans. I have held various positions from sales to operations and most recently promoted to Creative Designer. I currently am developing our creative department. I focus on creating unique experiences and bringing New Orleans to life for our guests. I have also obtained my DMCP certification and am actively involved in ADMEI. I have been a member of the NACE New Orleans chapter for four years. I have served in two different board positions and as a committee member.
To this day, I am excited about the road ahead and cannot wait to continue to plan unforgettable experiences for guests visiting New Orleans! If you see a petite brunette running around the city in heels, that is most likely me. It’s a skill I have mastered, amongst other things!
