The Gift & Home Trade Association (GHTA) board announced Amy Loewenberg will join the association in the newly created role of director of member relations and marketing.

In this position, Loewenberg will lead GHTA’s efforts to engage, grow and support its membership across all segments of the industry, including vendors, sales agencies, allied partners and retailers. The role blends relationship management, strategic marketing and member service to strengthen connections, increase participation, and foster collaboration throughout the association.

Loewenberg will work closely with the executive board, board of directors, committees and industry partners to ensure GHTA continues to serve as a trusted, inclusive and unifying platform for its members.

We believe this role represents an important investment in the future of the Association and reinforces our commitment to delivering a strong, engaging, and relevant member experience.

“This new role reflects the Board’s commitment to investing in the long-term strength of GHTA,” said Chuck Fraelich, president of GHTA. “Amy’s experience and understanding of our industry will play an important role in elevating member value, strengthening connections and supporting increased participation throughout the association.”

Loewenberg will serve in this capacity while continuing her role as director of buyer relations at NY NOW, bringing deep industry experience, perspective and long-standing relationships that will further support GHTA’s mission.

“I’m excited to deepen my work with GHTA and support a community that has played such an important role in bringing so many parts of this industry together,” Loewenberg said. “I look forward to collaborating with the Board and the broader GHTA community in ways that strengthen connection and help move the Association’s work forward.”
