RAPAPORT... The Women’s Jewelry Association (WJA) has appointed Jennifer
Markas as executive director, succeeding Bernadette Mack.
Markas was previously in charge of sustainability reporting
and communications at Tiffany & Co., and was an event leader in the
jeweler’s first employee resource group for women. She also founded and headed
development for Damsels in Design, a networking organization that fostered
professional and educational opportunities for women in the design industry.
“Jennifer’s passion for women’s issues coupled with an
understanding of the jewelry and design industries uniquely prepares her to
support our members and partners and lead WJA’s efforts to advance equality and
diversity in the fine-jewelry and watch industries,” WJA president Jenny Luker
said last week.
In light of Mack’s departure, the WJA has moved its
headquarters back to New York City from Virginia. Markas will assume her new
role on September 10, and Mack, who has been with WJA since 2012, will work
with her until the end of the month, WJA noted.
