Focus on Accomplishments logoAssistant Professor Maria K. Montemagno in SUNY Broome’s Hospitality Programs Department has achieved her certification as a Professional in Catering and Events (CPCE) from the National Association for Catering and Events (NACE).

This is an extremely difficult certification to achieve, requiring an expansive curriculum vitae demonstrating extensive industry experience, noted and verified contributions to the profession, and advanced educational as well as continuous professional development achievements. The strictly timed and proctored exam is comprised of 150 detailed industry questions covering topics of special events equipment layout and design, food and beverage management and labor cost controls, sanitation, audio/visual competencies, culinary arts, and marketing and promotions.

Please join us in congratulating Maria for this extraordinary accomplishment!
