RAPAPORT... Elections results are in for trustees at Gem A, the Gemmological Association of Great Britain, according to the Friends of Gem A Facebook page and confirmed by an association spokesperson. The election results were delayed earlier this week reportedly due to technical malfunctions.

Some 16 people were seeking to fill as many as nine slots on the board, whose composition is limited to 12, depending on how many nominees win more votes of approval than disapproval from members.

New members are: Kathryn Bonanno, Justine Carmody, Paul Greer, Kerry Gregory, Alan Hart, Alan Hodgkinson, Jack Ogden, Richard Slater, and Chris Smith. Gem-A staff member Kim Foxwell confirmed the list by phone to Rapaport News.

Continuing as trustees are: Mary Burland, Nigel Israel, Miranda Wells. Israel is expected to continue to serve as acting chief executive officer of the group until the new board meets on a replacement for departed CEO James Riley.
