The US trade association for businesses serving the fine jewellery marketplace Jewelers of America (JA) elected Ryan Berg who is the market president of Lee Michaels Fine Jewelry as its new board chairman, succeeding Bill Farmer Jr, a partner in Farmer’s Jewelry.
The election took place on 25 July 2015 at a JA board meeting that also concluded with the appointment of many new directors to the board.
“My years of service on the Jewelers of America board of directors have given me deep insight to the value that Jewelers of America provides. I look forward to working more closely with the board of directors and Dave Bonaparte, our president and CEO, as we continue to transform Jewelers of America and create a meaningful impact on the jewelry industry’s business outcomes," said Berg.
“Ryan has the right combination of experience that will make him an effective board chairman. Like so many others in the jewelry industry, Ryan is helping his family-run jewelry business adapt, grow and evolve. He brings a fresh perspective that focuses on growing Jewelers of America and all of our members’ stores’ bottom line," said David Bonaparte.
