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.

The World Barista Championship is the world’s premier coffee competition,
drawing competitors from more than 50 nations to serve espresso, cappuccinos
and original signature drinks to a panel of judges. The 10th annual World
Barista Championship will be held 16-19 April 2009 in Atlanta, Georgia U.S.A.
