Having shifted interests into a career in the hospitality industry in 2001, Sue lost no time moving up through the Kelber ranks from an on-call banquet server to the Director of Catering Operations. At no time has she forgotten where she began and recognizes the potential impact everyone on the Kelber team may have with our guests.
Successful high-profile events, such as Microsoft, RNC, Super Bowl, MLB All Star Game & NCAA Final Four, are certainly feathers in her cap; the real reward is that in practice, those experiences are what all of our clients can expect.
Sue has a depth of understanding that comes by having engaged with a plethora of clients. Event size is no barrier for Sue as she works to incorporate the guests wow experience in every aspect of the client’s event.
Sue’s detailed and thoughtful planning, which begins weeks, or in some cases months, before the event, when she draws on her knowledge and experience as to the best plan of action, for each particular group. With an eye on innovation, Sue has the attendee experience in mind, so that every room walked into, will stay with that attendee long after they walk out.
Sue leads her team with a deep sense of integrity, encouraging them with on-going training and positive, constructive feedback. She is always striving to lift up, yet recognizing the struggle an individual might be experiencing and being present for support.
When not immersed in planning or executing events, Sue enjoys being with her family, traveling to places she hasn’t been before and winning the next round of cribbage with her husband.
