Chapter Closed, but the book is far from finished

The 31st WACS World Congress in Dublin, Ireland, has now concluded, and suffice to say a select number of individuals are on their way home with the distinct impression that the real work has only just begun...

These are namely the new WACS president elect, Ferdinand E Metz (also president emeritus of the Culinary Institute of America), the new WACS vice president, Edward. G Leonard (also president of the American Culinary Federation), the newly instated WACS secretary L. Edwin Brown, and the appointed regional directors of the Pacific rim, Middle East & Africa, Americas, Asia and Europe. Norbert Schmidiger will continue in his current role as treasurer of the association.

Votes from the floor have also decided that Glenn Austin from Australia will manage the Pacific rim countries, Arnold Tanzer from South Africa will manage members from the Middle East and Africa, Jorge E Monti from Brazil will manage the Americas, Frank Naesheim from Singapore will manage Asia, while their colleagues Reinhold Metz from Germany, Gissur Gudmundsson from Iceland and Fausto Luigi Aroldi from Portugal will jointly manage members from the European continent.

The venue for the 2008 WACS World Congress was determined by a resounding majority vote for Dubai in the United Arab Emirates. But closer yet is the 32nd WACS World congress will be held in Auckland, New Zealand, in 2006. See you there!
