Terry Quinn of Quinn’s Goldsmith in Occoquan was recently honored by being appointed to a position on the Board of Directors of the Independent Jewelers Organization (IJO), according to an announcement by IJO President and CEO Jeff Roberts.

“Terry was chosen from among 850 retail jeweler members, which really says a lot about his leadership abilities, and the confidence the membership as a whole has in him,” Roberts reported. “I’m excited to be working with Terry, as is the rest of the Board.”

The IJO Board of Directors is comprised of nine retail members and two supplier members.

The Board position is to act as a liaison between the membership and IJO management, and to help form ideas for the betterment of the overall operation of IJO.

Independent Jewelers Organization is the world’s largest jewelry buying group, enabling its retail members to buy at group savings and pass those savings along to their customers. IJO also provides the latest education and information on product knowledge, techniques, trends and styles to its members, to further benefit their customers.

“Being associated with IJO represents integrity, quality and trust, and I’m proud to be able to give back to this organization that has helped my business in so many ways. I look forward to serving my fellow members in any way I can over the next three years,” Quinn stated.
