2023 WJA International Board of Directors Nomination Form

The Women’s Jewelry Association is pleased to announce its open call for board positions for its 2023 International Board of Directors.

For nearly forty years, WJA has provided a platform for women and professionals in the jewelry and watch industry to network, collaborate and mentor each other.

We are on the search for energetic, community-driven, and strategic thinkers who will join our family of volunteers and help us create impactful programming for the jewelry and watch industry. We have many opportunities to volunteer, including on the following committees: sponsorship, communications, mentorship, membership, event planning, diversity and more. Our all-volunteer board meets quarterly and we provide the ability to network, exercise your leadership skills and work creatively with peers in the industry. 

We deeply value diversity and welcome professionals, entrepreneurs and consultants from all backgrounds, including BIPOC and LGBTQIA+ candidates, to serve on our board. Men are also welcome to apply for a board position.

Please complete our nomination form for you or a colleague you would like to nominate by October 26th, 2022. A representative from the board will get back to you (or the candidate) in early November.
