Get Involved!
As a member of the Greeting Card Association (GCA), your voice matters in shaping the future of our industry. Public affairs play a crucial role in protecting and promoting the interests of greeting card publishers, suppliers, and businesses. By getting involved with GCA’s Public Affairs Committee, you help safeguard key issues like postal policy, trade regulations, and industry sustainability.
Why Your Involvement Matters
Postal policy is one of the most critical issues for our industry. With over half of all greeting cards sold being delivered by the USPS, having strong, effective postal regulations is essential to our success. GCA’s Public Affairs Committee represents our collective interests before Congress and federal agencies to ensure the USPS remains a reliable partner for greeting card businesses. Your participation in public affairs efforts can make a significant difference in areas like:
- Fair Postal Rates & Services: Help us maintain current rates for Single Piece First Class Mail and fight against any changes that could impact greeting card deliveries.
- Advocating for 6-Day Delivery: Preserve essential mail delivery and support efforts to ensure continued access to postal services.
- Strengthening the USPS as an Essential Service: Advocate for the USPS to Congress, ensuring that greeting cards remain an important part of their offerings.
