Executive Director Libby Brown announced that the full resources of the Atlanta Jewelry Show will be available to affected communities. “During this time of great need, I want to assure our retailers and vendors that our team is here for them in whatever capacity necessary to aid in their recovery. The Atlanta Jewelry Show is a year-round resource for our independent jewelry retailers, sales representatives, and vendors,” Brown said. “We don’t stop working for you when the show ends. We stand ready to support you in good times and bad.”
The AJS office staff will tap into its vast resources and nationwide connections in order to make the lives of AJS community members as easy as possible during the post-storm recovery phase.
