IDCA Hosts Pete Zegarac of the US Postal Inspection Service, Transguardian and the Diamond Dealers Club of NY at 27th Annual Gala Dinner in Las Vegas
Las Vegas, NV, June 06, 2011 --(PR.com)-- The Indian Diamond and Colorstone Association (IDCA) held its 27th Annual Dinner and Awards Ceremony at the Mandalay Bay Hotel, Las Vegas, on Saturday, June 04. Special guests were Pete Zegarac, Inspector in Charge of the US Postal Inspection Service, Phoenix Division, Lou Rohde, Director of Member Services of the Diamond Dealers Club of NY (DDC), and Jim and Madlene Moseley, principals of TransGuardian, Inc., a software company whose owners are IDCA and DDC members.
The IDCA is a non-profit organization, established to promote the commerce of Indian gem and jewelry companies with the USA. Two-thirds of US jewelry retail sales today are of Indian origin. The IDCA, DDC, and TransGuardian are establishing a cooperative alliance to improve the efficiency, lower the costs, and raise the security of worldwide insured jewelry shipments.
“The first or second largest cost for businesses in our industry is insured shipping,” said Bhupendra Mookim of S.P.B. Gems. Mr. Mookim’s family has been in the gem and jewelry profession since the fifteenth century.
“As a Business Alliance Partner with the US Postal Service and Wells Fargo Insurance Services, we’re bringing those costs down by 30 to 80 per cent,” said Jim Moseley. “We’re flattening the earth. That means vastly increased wealth and trade for Indian and American businesses together, which can play a decisive role in our economic recovery.”
Inspector Zegarac added, “We’re here to emphasize that the US Postal Service has a unique benefit to offer this industry – a law enforcement agency committed to protecting high value packages in the mailstream.”
As one of the USA’s oldest federal law enforcement agencies, founded by Benjamin Franklin, the US Postal Inspection Service has a long history of fighting criminals who attack the nation's postal system and misuse it to defraud, endanger, or otherwise threaten the American public.
The IDCA honored Ms. Bea Spiech of Macy’s as Retailer of the Year, Ms. Varda Shine of the Diamond Trading Company as Doyenne of the Year, Mr. Shreyas K. Doshi of Shrenuj & Co. Ltd as Pioneer of the Year, and ABN AMRO and Standard Chartered Banks.
At the conclusion of the elegant and beautifully catered IDCA event, members of the audience succumbed to the evocative rhythms of the Indian vocalist and danced together onstage. Sushil Goyal, the IDCA President, Pete Zegarac, Lou Rohde, and Madlene Moseley displayed dazzling terpsichorean talent. Jim Moseley provided sobering evidence that God did not intend everyone to dance. A wonderful time was had by all.
