A general meeting for the Diamond Dealers Club of Australia was held Tuesday 25th February 2008.
New elections were held for the positions of chairman, vice chairman and the DDCA committee.
The newly elected chairman is now Mr Rami Baron and his vice chairman is Mr Roy Cohen.
Mr Ian Hadassin, the CEO of the Jewellers Association of Australia has been given an honorary membership with no voting rights as an observer in his capacity representing the JAA which is affiliated with CIBJO, the World Jewellery Confederation.
The DDCA is seeking affiliation, providing they are are accepted, to the World Federation of Diamond Bourses (WFDB ). This will take time and money.
All members of the Australian jewellery industry are invited to join the DDCA.
The benefits of Australian membership to the WFDB will put Australia on the map it is hoped in years to come and hopefully the DDCA will be able to regulate those rogue diamond traders that are presently not abiding by a code of ethics within the Australian jewellery industry.
We believe a new website for the DDCA is imminent.
Diamond Imports congratulates the newly elected committee members of the DDCA and hopes it will have a good future impact on the perception of the diamond jewellery industry in Australia.
It’s time to move forward and the feeling is now very positive amongst the DDCA.
