The Responsible Jewellery Council (RJC) has appointed Dave Meleski as its new chairman.
Maleski replaces David Bouffard of Signet Jewelers, who has been chair since 2018.
Maleski is the president and CEO of the Richline Group, a US-based precious metals and jewellery manufacturer. He has served as president of the company since 2007.
“It is a critical time for the RJC to continue to grow and lead the global supply chain in setting standards for our industry,” he said.
“Richline has been involved at the board and committee level since the beginning of the RJC, and as a global manufacturing company with retail customers around the world, we have helped promote the importance of the RJC as our singular voice for compliance standards since its inception.”
He has previously served on the board of other industry associations, including Jewelers for Children Charities and the Manufacturers and Jewelers of America.
In December, the RJC confirmed that Bouffard would leave his position at the RJC and Signet Jewelers, where he has worked since 1981.
Bouffard added: “Companies like Signet and Richline, along with the valued team members and boards of directors over the past 20 years, have taken the RJC from a 14-founding member organisation when launched in 2005 to one that is growing stronger each month with over 1800 members to date.”
RJC executive director Melanie Grant will report directly to Meleski.
