WorldChefs Young Chefs Congratulate Neil Abrahams, the new President of the Australian Culinary Federation

It is a great honor and quite humbling to be appointed the position of National President to the largest most active Chefs Association in Australia. The ACF National Committee and I are committed to continuing the work of our outgoing President - Peter Wright, but we are also planning for the future. Our primary focus will be on members, sponsors and the financial security of the ACF. I personally wish to see the ACF growth in regional centers creating ACF Branches in country areas. We will continue to work with all State Presidents and Committees to ensure the success for our culinary competition and push for more social and professional events.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank Peter for his many years of service to the ACF and Members, this is a volunteers position and requires hours of work each week, at times it is a thankless task and takes you away from your family. Peter you have been a true professional and we thank you for your service to this wonderful industry.

In Culinary Friendship

Kind Regards,

Neil Abrahams
President, Australian Culinary Federation
