AJF welcomes three new board members to our ever-growing, international team of jewelry aficionados!

Sharon Berman is principal of Berbay Marketing & Public Relations specializing in working with professionals to create the visibility & credibility that fuel revenue growth. She is joining AJF's board to guide the new Marketing Committee. She is passionate about jewelry, as both a collector and student, and is currently taking classes toward her graduate gemology degree.  

Bonnie Levine has been volunteering for AJF for years and now is taking the reins of the Artist Award. She will be managing the onslaught of applications--the deadline is September 15, mark your calendars!--answering questions, and facilitating the jurying process. An avid collector, and owner of Hedone Gallery, she loves jewelry with a passion.

Jorge Manilla is a fresh voice to AJF. An established maker, respected educator, and currently working on his PhD in Antwerp, Jorge will be adding his invaluable perspective to AJF's conversations and decision-making processes.
