WJA to Host Breakfast and Diversity Keynote at JCK Las Vegas

(PRESS RELEASE) NEW YORK — On June 11, 2022, the Women’s Jewelry Association is kicking off a new fundraising event, its Generating Community Impact Breakfast at the JCK Show in Las Vegas, NV, focused on the importance of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion for industry leaders. The breakfast will feature a keynote presentation by Karine Bah Tahé, Founder and CEO of Blue Level Training, a Black woman-owned enterprise focused on training that builds diverse, inclusive, and respectful work environments.

Karine has spent the past 10 years working in training, international recruitment, C-suite diversity, equity, and inclusion development, and international business journalism. Her areas of expertise include diversity, equity, inclusion, anti-racism, inclusive communications, microaggressions, and sexual harassment prevention. She has worked with international leaders, the diplomatic community, academic innovators, and senior business executives from a range of industries in the United States, Canada, Brazil, Switzerland, Sweden, Germany, India, and Australia.

During the event, participants will learn about the importance of DEI training within their own companies and the impact it can have on their business success. WJA Foundation will also invite guests to learn more about its multi-dimensional funding framework, focusing on charitable giving towards general jewelry education & business development; responsible sourcing and sustainability education; and diversity, equity, and inclusion education.

Various sponsorship levels for the breakfast are available for companies that are committed to uplifting and empowering women and unrepresented leaders in our industry, and who believe in the importance of DEI education and training for business.

Tickets can be purchased on the WJA website with early-bird pricing in effect through May 29th.

This Third-Generation Jeweler Was Ready for Retirement. He Called Wilkerson

Retirement is never easy, especially when it means the end to a business that was founded in 1884. But for Laura and Sam Sipe, it was time to put their own needs first. They decided to close J.C. Sipe Jewelers, one of Indianapolis’ most trusted names in fine jewelry, and call Wilkerson. “Laura and I decided the conditions were right,” says Sam. Wilkerson handled every detail in their going-out-of-business sale, from marketing to manning the sales floor. “The main goal was to sell our existing inventory that’s all paid for and turn that into cash for our retirement,” says Sam. “It’s been very, very productive.” Would they recommend Wilkerson to other jewelers who want to enjoy their golden years? Absolutely! “Call Wilkerson,” says Laura. “They can help you achieve your goals so you’ll be able to move into retirement comfortably.”
