Congratulating Maurice Fischler upon being appointed president of De Beurs voor Diamanthandel - the Antwerp Diamond Bourse (ADB), Ronnie VanderLinden, IDMA Secretary General said, ""The IDMA membership congratulates Maurice Fischler upon taking up the helm at the ADB and upon stepping in the footsteps of his immediate predecessor, the late Artur Beller, and those of his own father, Bram Fischler.”

VanderLinden continued. "In addition to the bourse, Maurice will probably also lead the Federation of Belgian Diamond Bourses (FBDB). His cousin, Stephane Fischler, is IDMA Treasurer and also serves as Chairman of the International Diamond Council, the joint commitee of IDMA and the World Federation of Diamond Bourses (WFDB). We all wish Maurice a successfull term at the ADB," VanderLinden concluded.
