Atlanta — James Douglas Glover will be the first Icon Honors Life Achievement award recipient, by unanimous vote of the Icon executive committee and with the full endorsement of Icon partners Gift & Home Trade Association (GHTA), HFN and AmericasMart Atlanta.

Glover will be honored posthumously at the inaugural Icon Honors event, which will be held on Saturday, July 17 at the Atlanta Marriott Marquis in conjunction with the July Atlanta International Gift & Home Furnishings Market and Atlanta International Area Rug Market.

Glover was owner of gift marketing and distribution company Palmer Marketing. He remained active in the company until his death on April 5 at age 54.

“More than any other individual, Jim Glover has shaped the complexion and destiny of the gift industry through a career rich in achievements and contributions touching the lives and livelihoods of retailers and product manufacturers everywhere,” said George Kacic, vice president of Ganz, GHTA board chairman emeritus and Icon Honors founding partner.

Jeffrey L. Portman Sr., president and COO of AmericasMart Atlanta, added, “To honor Jim Glover in this way is in fact an honor for us and an enduring testimony to all that he accomplished, and all that will be achieved through his legacy.”

This is a wonderful way to recognize the work and ideas Jim Glover brought forward during his involvement with Palmer Marketing Company. Many of Jim's ideas have become "standards" in the way independent gift and greeting card retailers promote their businesses. Jim will be missed in our industry. I completely endorse the Life Achievement Award being presented to Jim Glover.
