Dear Esteemed Members,
As spring’s gentle breeze sweeps through, we find ourselves on the cusp of a thrilling new chapter with The Providence Jewelers Club. With the echoes of a successful 2024 still resonating in our hearts, we are eager to share the strides we’ve made and the bright horizon ahead. The board has been working diligently, ensuring that the PJC remains a beacon of Good Fellowship, offering our iconic events and innovative Club Connections that nurture friendships and provide opportunities for social networking.
This is truly an exhilarating time to be part of the PJC leadership. Membership renewals will soon be underway, and we are gearing up for an exciting membership drive aimed at expanding our vibrant community. Our first bold move has been transitioning to a sleek new website platform. This step forward allows us to meet the growing needs of the PJC while fulfilling our fiduciary duties to the Club. We invite you to spread the word — now is the perfect moment for your friends and colleagues to join us and become part of something truly exceptional.
Our collaborations with industry leaders, such as Jewelers of America, International Precious Metals Institute and MJSA, continue to flourish. These partnerships reinforce our commitment to the jewelry industry and provide unmatched networking and educational opportunities. We are more determined than ever to create events that strengthen our industry, promote knowledge-sharing, and unite our community.
But we can't do it without you. Our Sponsorship Committee Chair, Christine McDermott, has embarked on securing sponsors for 2025, and we need your invaluable support. The generosity of our sponsors powers the success of our events and helps keep membership dues affordable. Their contributions enable us to provide the exceptional experiences that you’ve come to expect. If you'd like to join this prestigious group of supporters, please reach out to Christine or visit our website to sign up today. Your involvement ensures the continued success of our programs and strengthens our shared pursuit of excellence.
On behalf of the Board, I would like to extend heartfelt gratitude to our outgoing president, Tina Gosselin. Tina’s remarkable leadership, vision, and commitment to cultivating fun and camaraderie have been the cornerstone of our success. We are thrilled that Tina will continue to share her wisdom and guidance as we step into 2025.
We are also delighted to welcome two new members to the Board: Erika Silva of LDC, Inc. and Anthony Rossi of Uncas Int. With their wealth of experience and passion, we are confident they will make a lasting impact, and we look forward to the exciting contributions they will bring in the years ahead.
It is an honor to serve this incredible community, and I am filled with gratitude for the opportunity to work alongside all of you. Together, we will create another year brimming with unforgettable events, meaningful connections, and friendships that will last a lifetime.
And, of course, I would be remiss if I didn’t take a moment to express our deepest appreciation for our incredible 2024 sponsors. Their unwavering support is the backbone of our organization, and we are immensely grateful for their partnership:
