New York—The Jewelers Vigilance Committee (JVC) will present the seminar "Legal Compliance is NOT Optional" in Dallas, Atlanta, Chicago and Seattle this year, to educate jewelers in these areas about the legal regulations regarding how they do business.

The JVC selected these cities based upon the large number of jewelry retailers and suppliers doing business there.

"Today, jewelers face many legal-compliance challenges. In addition to trying to maintain or add market share, jewelers must comply with an array of legal-compliance regulations and, at the same time, fulfill existing regulations such as filling out an 8300 form for cash transactions over $10,000," JVC president, chief executive officer, general counsel and seminar presenter Cecilia Gardner said in a statement. "Our goal is to help jewelers doing business in the United States to understand the legal regulations pertaining to the manufacture, sale and advertising of fine jewelry."

The seminar will be presented in Dallas on April 11 from 8 a.m.-10 am. at The Westin Galleria Dallas, 13340 Dallas Pkwy., (972) 934-9494. A light breakfast will be served. Space is limited and registration is required.

"In 2007, the IRS is scheduled to start to review jewelers' anti-money-laundering (AML) programs," Gardner said. "The JVC's 'Legal Compliance is NOT Optional' seminar will include important AML legal-compliance information that jewelers cannot afford to miss. We urge Dallas jewelers to attend the seminar and participate in the question and answer session."

Dates for the Atlanta, Chicago and Seattle seminars will be posted on the JVC's Web site, JVCLegal.org. Jewelers can also visit the site to register for the free JVC seminar, anti-money-laundering information, educational programs, products and services.

"Legal Compliance is NOT Optional" is underwritten by a grant from the JCK Industry Fund.

The JVC, founded in 1917, is a non-profit legal trade association devoted to maintaining the jewelry industry's highest ethical standards. The JVC offers dispute mediation and arbitration services for trade and consumers, compliance-monitoring and precious-metals testing, among many other services.
