Paz expects to discuss how the organization can assist its members to raise their profiles and vice-versa; what tools the WFDB can offer to advance the standing and competitive position of diamond bourse members in the market; and finally, what the WFDB membership can do to advance diamond sales in general, the WFDB said in a statement Thursday.
“When the members of the WFDB act together, our ability to affect events is greatly enhanced,” Paz said. During the summit he will review the tools the WFDB has developed to advance the interests of bourse members and the diamond exchanges they belong to.
A detailed discussion regarding the implementation of the WFDB Mark program, the WFDB's Mark of Excellence, will also be placed high on the agenda.
Paz is seeking to raise the frequency bourse heads meet, saying it should not be limited to when World Diamond Congresses and Presidents' Meetings take place.
