Lexi — We will miss you!

Due to a sudden change in her husband's occupation - our beloved president, Lexi Erikson, has had to "step down" from her current position.

Lexi has been extremely influential in helping PSG achieve elevated recognition in the Jewelry making arena. Because of her never-ending devotion to fostering education and incredible networking skills — PSG has benefited with opportunities for more professional education and increased membership.

Lexi - you will be sorely missed. You have been a never-ending source of inspiration and a "shining" example to us all.

We wish you much success in this new, exciting, chapter of your life. We will never forget you!
