(IDEX Online News) – The Jewelers of America Political Action Committee (JAPAC), has elected Jenny Caro, owner of Jewelry By Design, Woodbridge, Virginia, as its board chair. She takes over from Scot Congress, co-owner of Congress Jewelers, Sanibel, FL, who served in the role for the past three years, presiding over significant growth of the PAC.
JAPAC supports the fine jewelry industry in Washington, D.C. and helps Jewelers of America and its legislative team in Washington promote jewelers’ interests, giving jewelers a collective voice through contributions to political campaigns. Through JAPAC, individual Jewelers of America members can join with other jewelry businesses in contributing to candidates for office at the federal level, who understand the interests of the jewelry industry.
“Jenny recognizes how important it is for jewelers to speak up for their businesses on Capitol Hill,” said JA president and CEO David J. Bonaparte. “We are thrilled to have her take on this new leadership role within JAPAC.”
Caro has served on the JA board of directors since 2013. “By raising awareness of JAPAC, I hope to empower other Jewelers of America members to fight for their businesses on Capitol Hill,” she said.
