THE SOCIETY'S AWARDS AND RECOGNITIONS
AND HOW TO BESTOW THEM

There are a wide range of fine awards you can bestow on your fellow members and those who have given you good service: notably Gold Medals, Silver Medals, and Bronze Medals, Long Service Medallions, Diplomas, and Restaurant Awards. 

All these awards derive from the IWFS International Council of Management (the Council) which, in order to minimize delays, delegates to its Area Committees the administration of all save the two highest awards.  The Europe & Africa Area Committee (EAC) devolves handling of awards to a small sub-committee appointed annually composed of the EAC Chairman, an Awards Officer and one other member.

You may view or download the Council's current guidelines pertaining to the issuance and presentation of these awards here as well as a Restaurant Nomination Form.
