World Association of Chefs Societies
The
World Association of Chef’s Societies (WACS) is a global representative
grouping of national Chefs’ societies. Each country can only
be represented by a single cooks’ society, which must be of
national significance.
Individuals
cannot directly become a WACS National Member but are represented
via their membership of a national society.

| The
World Association of Chefs Societies, or WACS in short, is a global
network of chefs associations first founded in October 1928 at the
Sorbonne in Paris. At that first congress there were 65 delegates
from 17 countries, representing 36 national and international associations,
and the venerable August Escoffier was named the first Honourary President
of WACS. Today, this global body has 72 official chefs associations
as members, with three that just joined at the 31st World Congress
in March. The biennel congress is a hallmark tradition of WACS and
has been organised in over 20 cities across the world throughout its
illustrious 74-year history, WACS is managed by an elected presidential
body consisting of the WACS president, vice president, treasurer,
secretary general and ambassador honourary president, as well as a
board of continenal directors that look after the regions of Asia,
Europe, Africa, the Pacific and the Americas. A separate committee
manages all culinary competition-related affairs. Relevant details
can be found in the Who's Who (link) page of this website.
