WACS

WACS, (The World Association of Chef's Societies), is a global network of chefs associations founded in 1928. From small beginnings it now has got a membership of 72 official chefs associations world wide.

An elected presidential body consisting of the WACS president, vice president, treasurer, secretary general and ambassador honorary president manages WACS. Plus a board of continental directors that look after regions of Asia, Europe, Africa, Americas and the Pacific which we are a part of. A separate committee manages all culinary competition-related affairs. Graham Hawkes from New Zealand Chefs Association is a member of this Culinary Committee.

WACS is a non-political professional organisation dedicated to maintaining and improving the culinary standards of global cuisines. These goals are accomplished through education, training and professional development of our international membership.
