J.I.M.A (Jewelry Importers and Manufactures Association International) is a non-profit organization established in 1993 at Bay Area, San Francisco, California, United States. It began with only thirty jewelers, but after fifteen years it has now grown to include over a hundred multinational members all over the United States. The main goal of J.I.M.A. is to endeavor to earn more benefits for our members and security for their businesses. As an internationally reputable organization, JIMA connects miners, manufactures, jewelers, trade promoters, and related service affiliates across the world to build their member's profits. JIMA is made up of a board committee, elected by its members for two-year terms. The president, two vice presidents, and directors contribute their time and effort for the benefit of their members. They have worked to secure innumerable advantages and profits. Two of them include the best discount rate on armed Transportation services and Jewelry Trade Show Insurance. Members also have access to the Employee Travel Protection Plan from Travel Insurance Service, which offers insurance for members. Additionally we also provide discount rates for airline tickets, car rental, airport car parking, shipping carriers, and merchant fees. Annually all our members, guests, and associates from the jewelry industry and related services all over the world would join together in a banquet party celebrating Thanksgiving, Christmas, and Chinese New Year over San Mateo, Chicago, or Tucson. As JIMA President, I encourage and welcome all jewelry professionals to join JIMA to strengthen our collective power and to ensure prosperity and success for our businesses.
