2006 Annual Meeting & Merchandise Day
Beginning April 26, 2006, with a meeting of the JIDA Board of Directors, the annual meeting of the Jewelry Industry Distributors Association commenced. This year’s meeting was held in sunny Ponte Vedra, Florida, just beyond Jacksonville, at the Sawgrass Marriott Resort.

Outgoing Director Bill Esslinger & Director Chip Romans

The Product Demo Day on Thursday was well-attended and very informative. After two years of presentations by Associates only, the JIDA membership decided to open next year’s presentations to everyone and will include topics of general interest, e.g. UPS, insurance, motivational, investments, etc. Please contact Associate Directors Dave Loftus, Grobet, and Jim Lazarus, L & R Company, or the JIDA office, if you or anyone you know would be interested in presenting at the 2007 JIDA Annual Meeting, May 2-6, 2007 at the Scottsdale Plaza Resort.
