(PRESS RELEASE) The American Jewelry Design Council has elected Alan Revere to be the president for the coming year. AJDC is a nonprofit educational corporation, which is mandated to raise the awareness and appreciation of original fine jewelry. Membership is composed of respected and high-profil self-employed contemporary jewelry designers in America.

The Council elected Adam Neeley as vice president, Merry-Lee Rae as treasurer, and Jennifer Rabe Morin as secretary. A longtime member of the organization, this will be Revere’s second time serving as president. He was also president in the early 2000’s.
