The beginning of a new period of activity for the Isfahan Gold Association is a new opportunity for service, transformation, and synergy in one of the most important and original professions in the country. The gold and jewelry industry, with a precious and deep-rooted history, has always played a key role in the economy, employment, and cultural identity of Isfahan. Today, however, in a fast-paced and changing world, we need to redefine the path, use new capacities, and strengthen guild cohesion. In the new period, with a new approach and relying on the collective wisdom and valuable experience of the esteemed guild members, the Isfahan Gold Association will strive to: • Strengthen the path of constructive dialogue with governing and supervisory institutions • Expand the platform for training and promoting guild knowledge • Protect the rights and interests of members against economic and legal challenges • And provide a space for participation, transparency, and innovation We believe that achieving these goals is only possible with the support, empathy, and participation of all members of the gold and jewelry industry. This association is the home of all the activists of the association and will be their voice. I ask God Almighty to grant me and the other members of the board of directors the success of honest, effective and fruitful service. I also ask all my esteemed colleagues to help us in advancing the goals of the association with their valuable support and cooperation.
