Thank You letter from Barbara Barbara Heinrich It takes a great team effort to pull together an exhibition of this magnitude, curating about 100 pieces by 36 different artists. I would like to express my sincere gratitude to everyone at the Headley-Whitney Museum for all of the work that is involved with installing this show: receiving the work, logging it in, and finally displaying it in the exhibition Convergence. Our special thanks go to: Amy Gundrum Greene at Headley-Whitney Museum for curating Convergence and for mastering the logistics of this show before and after a maternity leave. Brava! Thank you, Amy, for your impeccable time management and dedication. To the Headley-Whitney Museum for hosting this extraordinary exhibition and for being an advocate for the craft of American jewelry design. To Marylouise Sirignano Lugosch, the executive director of AJDC, for recognizing the opportunity for this exhibition when visiting the Headley- Whitney Museum in 2016 as part of a Women’s Jewelry Association meeting. Thank you for your initiative to contact the museum, discuss the project with the curator, secure a contract, and then accompany the exhibition Convergence step by step from conception to reality. Without you, Convergence would not have been possible! To Linda MacNeil, who once again lent her great experience and organizational skills to this project, and accompanied it attentively to ensure its success. Thank you for your commitment and time, Linda, working with the graphic designer and conceiving a beautiful exhibition catalog with her. Your leadership in the creation of Convergence is invaluable. A Very Big Thank You Barbara Heinrich President of the American Jewelry Design Council 20
