Why join the GCA?
The Greeting Card Industry is a broad, diverse community. Publishers, Suppliers and Retailers form the backbone of the supply chain, but the industry could not function without the support and passion of an army of individuals working as artists, agents and consultants. That’s why we’ve created a special Membership Plan just for individuals who want to be a part of the industry stay in the know about what’s happening.
