"WE'RE BACK," SAYS WORLD GOLD COUNCIL. The World Gold Council hasn't had an easy time. With gold prices declining, the council, funded by mining companies worldwide, had to make drastic cuts in 1998. But with what Michael C. Barlerin, chief executive, Americas and Europe, called "a horrific year" now behind them, the reorganized World Gold Council is ready once again to take the message of gold out into markets worldwide. Playing an integral role in the reinvigoration is the appointment of Kitaru "Kit" Inagaki to the newly created position of area manager, Americas and Europe. Inagaki, who has created numerous gold design education programs over the years, will oversee the launch of Gold Trends 2000, a hard-cover book that examines nine lifestyle trends influencing the gold jewelry market in the coming millennium. The book, to be unveiled this summer, gives special attention to trends like "New Genders," the advent of more female executives and stay-at-home dads, and how they are creating tomorrow's gold jewelry designs and molding customers' shopping patterns. Gold Trends 2000 also reinforces the council's focus on international business, exploring the impact today's electronic superhighway and the increase in global travel are having on the gold jewelry market.
