The Mission of Women Chefs & Restaurateurs is to promote the education and advancement of women in the restaurant industry and the betterment of the industry as a whole.
Formed in 1993 by eight of the nation's top women chefs and restaurateurs, WCR has grown to a membership of over 2,000 members, offering a variety of networking, professional and support services.
WCR sponsors a unique Scholarship & Internship Program that includes international travel, culinary school opportunities, wine studies and internships in member restaurants. Applications are taken January through March. The scholarship committee reviews the applications in March and April and the scholarships are awarded in June. Sponsorships are available for this program. The prior year Scholarship & Internship Program is posted on the WCR Web site.
WCR launched a new Mentorship Program in 2002. WCR has always been about "women-helping-women" in the culinary field. The new mentorship program formalized the informal mentoring that has always existed.
The WCR Local Exchange program offers culinary educational programs in local markets. These meetings take place across the country and are both educational and networking opportunities for our members and prospective members. Sponsorships are available for this program.
