RAPAPORT... The Gemological Institute of America (GIA) has appointed
Duncan Pay as vice president and chief academic officer.
Pay (pictured) will take charge of global education courses in gemology and jewelry design and manufacturing. He will replace senior vice president
and chief learning officer Bev Hori, who will retire from the position in May. 
“I am immensely pleased that Duncan has taken on this very important
role to carry on Bev’s incredible work to establish professional standards and
strive for continuous improvement through education for the gem and jewelry
industry,” said Susan Jacques, the GIA’s CEO. “I have the utmost
confidence that Duncan will further enhance GIA’s education offerings.”
While Pay will assume the role immediately, Hori will be
responsible for the digital transformation of the GIA’s information center, as
well as alumni global network engagement, until her departure.
Pay, a 20-year GIA veteran, was previously senior director
of gemology-content strategy. In addition to his new role, he will continue in
his position as editor-in-chief of the GIA’s journal, Gems & Gemology.
