Razor Thin Margin In Presidential Vote Defines 2009 Detroit NACE Elections

November 20, 2008 – After an amazing 2008 Detroit NACE Awards dinner on October 17th, the chapterâ€™s membership converged on Rochesterâ€™s Meadowbrook Hall on November 19th for some solemn business: Electing the 2009 Detroit NACE Board.

In a sign of the chapterâ€™s growing vitality, long standing precedent was broken with three candidates running for Detroit NACE Chapter President.

After a hard fought and extremely tight campaign, Todd Lloyd of Chair Covers & Linens narrowly topped Kelly Brennan of the Michigan Governorâ€™s Residence and Joseph Martinez of Christopher & Company by only one vote.

Todd Lloyd ran on a platform of recruiting new members, reforming NACE educational programs, as well as serving as an ambassador of Metropolitan Detroitâ€™s dynamic creative community and host of outstanding venues.

The remaining slots were uncontested. Each of the positions are for a term of two years.
