RAPAPORT... The Gemological Institute of America (GIA) has appointed
Shahdeh Ammadi director of institute relations, a newly created position.
In her role, Ammadi will oversee the institute’s global
alumni and GemKids programs, as well as its guest services. She was previously
the director of alumni relations and annual giving at the Columbia University
Graduate School of Architecture, Planning and Preservation.
“The more than 130,000 active GIA alumni in 65 chapters
around the world are important ambassadors for our institute and help to
fulfill our mission to ensure the public trust in gems and jewelry,” said GIA president
and CEO Susan Jacques. “Shahdeh brings unique experience and expertise that
will help us enhance, reenvision and implement programs, resources and
infrastructure to support lifelong learning and success for our wonderful and
dedicated GIA graduates.”
Ammadi will be based in the GIA’s Carlsbad, California,
office, and will report to Duncan Pay, the institute’s vice president of
education and chief academic officer.
