WBC終於公布首次聘請的執行理事名單,恭喜Cindy Chang!
我想台灣區的選手與評審們對Cindy一定不陌生,這参年Cindy都應協會邀請回台協助TBC比賽,而在2007年WBC有了專任EB的構想,希望聘請一位專任的執行長來專職WBC賽事與執行各項重大決策,坦白說,這個職務很多人有興趣,而在多方推薦下,Cindy其實是當仁不讓,她的獲選,也意味她必須離開Counter Culture這家公司了,但這卻是整個咖啡界的福氣,因為很少人具備Cindy的條件與專業,同時她的專注與細心加上與SCAA以及SCAE甚新興NB的關係,都讓人高度期待Cindy擔任這重要職務後能引領WBC與各國NB交流更密切也讓barista們能成長更多!
BGT在第一時間就連絡上Cindy表示祝賀之意,以下是WBC發布的官方新聞:
WBC hires Cindy Chang as the new Executive Director of the World Barista Championship. Congratulations Cindy!
LONDON (April 14, 2009) – After an extensive six-month worldwide search and interview process, Ms. Cynthia Chang has been appointed to the position of Executive Director for the World Barista Championship (WBC).
Ms. Chang volunteered to serve the WBC and United States Barista Championship (USBC) in 2003 and has since served on the Specialty Coffee Association of America’s USBC Committee, as a Regional Coordinator for the WBC, and recently as the Chairperson of the Board of Directors for the World Barista Championship.
In her role as Executive Director, Ms. Chang will serve as a leader, visionary, ambassador and manager for the rapidly growing organization with the responsibility of carrying out WBC objectives, while managing the needs and expectations of a diverse group of international volunteers, sponsors and competitors. The position reports directly to the organization’s Board of Directors.
Ms. Chang has been employed in the specialty coffee industry for her entire career, beginning at a young age by working directly for the founders of Caribou Coffee in Minneapolis, Minnesota. For the past 11 years, Ms. Chang worked for Counter Culture Coffee of Durham, NC, where she most recently held the position of Director of Development. At Counter Culture, her responsibilities included the oversight of special programs, including the company’s highly visible collaboration with the Culinary Institute of America.
