Mark your calendars!
On August 12, 2025, you’re invited to a free and very special conversation with one of gemology’s most respected educators and leaders.
Join Dr. Cigdem Lule as she interviews Donna Hawrelko, FGA, FCGmA—President of the Canadian Gemmological Association, long-time teacher, course developer, and in 2019 was the recipient of the AGA’s prestigious Antonio C. Bonanno Award for Excellence in Gemology for her lifetime of contributions to gemological education.
From her early career in social work to her decades shaping students in classrooms across Canada and California, Donna brings wisdom, warmth, and a deep passion for the gemological community.
This is sure to be an inspiring conversation with someone who has taught thousands and impacted even more.
