American Gem Society (AGS) has launched a virtual guild designed to allow members and non-members to come together.
“GoTo Guilds is not meant to replace our traditional guild meetings the society has around the country,” said Laura Stanley, chair of the international guilds.
“Originally, the intention of the guilds was a way for our members in remote areas to have a meeting, albeit virtually. We quickly realized that with the breadth of educational topics we can offer, though, members of our traditional guilds might also want to attend these virtual meetings.”
Peter Yantzer, executive director of AGS Laboratories, kicked off the first GoTo Guilds meeting earlier this month with his presentation, ‘Light Performance 101,’ an in-depth primer on AGS’s light performance cut grade.
