RAPAPORT... The U.S. Kimberley Process Authority (USKPA) elected
International Gemological Institute (IGI) president and chief executive officer
Jerry Ehrenwald to its board.
The election of Ehrenwald (pictured), who has 50 years’ industry
experience, comes after Gemological Science International (GSI) founder and
chief executive officer Mark Gershburg stepped
down as a USKPA director earlier this month to focus on his business.
The authority controls the use of Kimberley Process
certificates for rough diamond exports from the U.S.
“We look forward to working with Mr. Ehrenwald and the IGI
staff to fulfill this meaningful mission for the U.S. rough diamond industry,”
said Martin Hochbaum, executive director and member of the USKPA board.
Following Ehrenwald’s arrival, the USKPA’s operations will
be run out of the IGI’s facilities on New York’s Fifth Avenue. |
