Greetings from the 2024 San Diego Alumni Board 👋😁

We kicked off our first event at the beginning of summer, and it was such a great time!

We recognized Robert Weldon for his impact on GIA & the Gem industry over his extensive & creative career. He’s been an inspiration for many, and we wanted to highlight this an congratulate him as he steps into his new role… Retirement! 🥳

Thank you to everyone that came out to support and network 🙏 Our next events are happening soon in Orange County & at the GIA Campus in Carlsbad!! So stay tuned 😉

Big thanks to everyone who joined us for our inaugural Rockstar Happy Hour with London Diamond Bourse member ! It was fun bonding over a love of gems and the magic of working in a truly global industry. And we had graduates from FOUR campuses represented! This networking event only happened because Richard reached out to our chapter via the GIA Alumni Collective portal. Make sure if you’re traveling to take advantage of our global network and connect with your fellow grads, great things can happen.
