JVC Hosts Open Meeting At JA Show
July 23, 03
In a move aimed at emphasizing the need for jewelry retailers and manufacturers to be aware of the policy and compliance topics that have been addressed by Jewelers Vigilance Committee in the last year, the Committee’s Executive Director, Cecilia L. Gardner, has opened JVC's next Board of Directors meeting to JA NY Show attendees.
The Board meeting takes place next Tuesday, July 29, 10 AM, at the JA NY Show at the Javits Center.
According to Gardner “JVC represents the collective voice of the jewelry industry,” adding that “industry members need to know how to comply with new laws and regulations affecting daily business practices” such as the Kimberley Process and the Patriot Act, which battles money laundering schemes.
“We educate jewelry industry members about the laws that apply to their businesses, as well as represent our industry before government agencies that make the laws,” Gardener details.
Topics on the Board's agenda include new programs, including jewelry appraisal basics, retail law & successful selling practices seminar and future programs, compliance counseling on US Patriots Act and legal issues such as trademark oppositions.
