Canadian Jewellers Association Executive Director Brian Land Steps Down

(IDEX Online) – The Canadian Jewellers Association (CJA) has announced changes to its management personnel, with Executive Director, Brian Land leaving the role and the Association following the completion of his scheduled 18-month contract.

He will continue to be involved with the CJA as a freelance writer, while Carla Adams, currently a manager in the Association office, will discharge the duties of executive director on an interim basis until a successor is named. That is likely to take place by mid-January.

“Brian Land was engaged primarily to assist in managing the amalgamation of the Canadian Jewellers Association with Jewellers Vigilance Canada,” said Marco Miserendino, Chairman of the CJA Board of Directors.

“The knowledge and skill he brought to that file was of great assistance. The successful completion of that assignment now enables both Brian and the Association to determine and pursue their respective future directions,” Miserendino added.
