The Board of Directors of the Jewelers Vigilance Committee has convened a search committee to identify and hire a President, CEO & General Counsel to replace Cecilia Gardner, who previously announced her decision to step down from the position in 2017.  “We are grateful for Cecilia’s eighteen years of service to the JVC and her unwavering dedication to ethics and legal compliance in the jewelry industry.  Her decision to step down from this role creates an opportunity for a new leader for JVC, and we look forward to identifying the best candidate for the position”, said Steven Kaiser, Chairman of the Board of Directors of JVC. 

JVC is seeking an attorney with a minimum of ten years of experience to lead and oversee the membership organization with programs focused on legal compliance.  The new CEO will create new programs and strategies for organizational success, and maintain ethics and integrity standards in jewelry trade through monitoring and educational tactics. Candidates must have experience as a practicing attorney (litigation preferred).  Not-for-profit management experience is a plus.
