The Responsible Jewellery Council (RJC) has announced that Dave Meleski, President and CEO of Richline Group, has been elected as the new chairman of the organization. The previous chair David Bouffard has stepped down after two three-year terms in the role.
"I am excited to follow David Bouffard as Chair and thank him for his leadership these past six years. I look forward to working with our entire Board of Directors to push the RJC to even greater reach in my term as Chair," said Meleski.
"It is a critical time for the RJC to continue to grow and lead the global supply chain in setting standards for our industry."
“It has been an honour to serve as the Chair of the RJC for six years – a truly challenging yet rewarding experience of a lifetime, especially representing Signet, one of the RJC’s Founding Members,” said David Bouffard, ex-chair of RJC and Signet's Fellow of Industry Affairs.
Founded in 2005, RJC is a leading standard-setting organization for the jewellery and watch industry that brings together over 1800 companies of all sizes, across the global watch and jewellery supply chain, from mining to retail.
