Las Vegas—Hearts On Fire founding couple Susan and Glenn Rothman are the winners of the American Gem Society's (AGS) 2008 Robert M. Shipley Award.

The Rothman's received the award on April 12, during the AGS' annual Conclave in Seattle.

They are the first co-winners of the award, as well as the first husband-and-wife team to take this honor.

Glenn Rothman has served as a member of the AGS Laboratories board of managers since 1999, serves as the board's marketing committee chair and is an active member of the Jewelers for Children board of directors.

Both Glenn and Susan Rothman also serve as chairman and founding board member, respectively, of the Lenny Zakim Fund in their hometown of Boston.

"Susan and I are both deeply honored to receive this award from AGS," Glenn Rothman said. "Since starting Hearts On Fire in 1996, we've been motivated by our dream to always achieve excellence—this is the energy, the culture, and the unique character of Hearts On Fire."

AGS Executive Director Ruth Batson said the couple's focus has brought them both professional and personal success.

"Through their dedication to industry education, their commitment to the jewelry retailer and incredible generosity and devotion to community service, the Rothmans have made a lasting impression on the American Gem Society and on all who have benefited from their dedication and involvement."

The Robert M. Shipley award is an annual honor given to an AGS member in recognition of outstanding service to the society, significant contribution to gemology and for exemplifying the AGS' high ideals.
