Canadian Jewelry Group Seeks New Chief

RAPAPORT… Brian Land has left his position as executive director of
the Canadian Jewellers Association (CJA) after completing an 18-month contract
with the trade group.



The CJA hired Land on a temporary basis in August 2017 to
manage its merger with Jewellers Vigilance Canada, which took effect in October
of last year. Carla Adams, a manager at CJA, will serve as interim director
until the organization finds a permanent successor, which it expects to do by
mid-January.


“The knowledge and skill [Land] brought to that [merger] was
of great assistance,” said Marco Miserendino, chairman of the CJA board of
directors. “The successful completion of that assignment now enables both Brian
and the association to determine and pursue their respective future directions.”
