What founder J.C. Hall began in 1910, succeeding generations of family leadership – along with thousands of employees and retailers – have nurtured and grown into today's Hallmark.
There has always been a Hall in Hallmark's top leadership, which today includes Chairman Donald J. Hall and his sons, Donald J. Hall, Jr., president and CEO, and David E. Hall, president of the company's personal expression group.
Family leadership also is evident in the network of Hallmark Gold Crown® specialty stores, most of which are owned by independent business people and their families in communities across the country.
