What is the GCA?
The Greeting Card Association is a fast growing and proactive trade association devoted to protecting and promoting the greeting card industry and representing the interests of greeting card publishers. Membership provides tangible benefits and is exclusive to UK greeting card publishers regardless of size.
Based in the central London offices of its official magazine, Progressive Greetings, the GCA provides an excellent information resource for publishers, the press, artists and writers, students and the general public.
How is the GCA run?
The GCA is run on a not for profit basis, its policy and direction is decided by an elected Council of twelve members. Two general secretaries oversee the running of the association: Warren Lomax and Jacqueline Brown of Max Publishing, publishers of Progressive Greetings. The general manager is Sharon Little (pictured).
