H allmark celebrated our company’s 100-year anniversary in 2010. Milestones of this magnitude

provide a wonderful opportunity to honor the past while imagining and building the future. Diversity has long been a business and moral imperative at Hallmark, but from the vantage point of our centennial, it’s clear Hallmark’s future success depends on Hallmarkers whose diverse experiences and perspectives can help us create a more emotionally connected world, making a genuine difference in every life, every day. So in 2010, we renewed and intensified our focus on diversity and inclusion which are embedded in our company’s beliefs and values, as well as in our corporate purpose of enriching lives. I want to thank Teri Ann Drake, senior vice president–creative, for bringing passion and commitment to her leadership of Hallmark’s diversity and inclusion efforts. This annual report summarizes corporate goals and efforts underway via our Corporate and Division Diversity & Inclusion Councils and Employee Resource Groups. But these activities just touch the surface of diversity. Diversity lies within each Hallmarker’s unique life experiences and the way we see things differently from one another. I encourage each of you to honor and share your individual perspectives, and those of others, to help our company solve problems, innovate and recognize new opportunities. As this progress report illustrates, there are a multitude of ways for each of us to celebrate our diverse cultures, foster connections between us, and see new possibilities to help our consumers. Please take advantage of as many opportunities as possible to embrace and engage our diversity.

D iversity can’t be mandated, though it can be supported

through hiring, recruiting, inclusion training, mentoring and a multitude of other diversity programs. To be genuine and meaningful, diversity and inclusion must be valued, shared and embraced by all members within the community, at all levels of the organization. Thanks to the work and patience on the part of hundreds of Hallmarkers over the past decades, Diversity & Inclusion has evolved into an ecosystem within our company, supporting Hallmark’s culture and priorities. Hallmark’s Diversity & Inclusion ecosystem depends on interrelated groups and councils including the Corporate Diversity & Inclusion Council, Divisional Diversity and Inclusion Councils, Employee Resource Groups, subsidiary councils, platform and product teams and other groups with expertise in

understanding our consumers. This 2010 progress report details the roles and missions of each aspect of our Diversity & Inclusion ecosystem. Together, they are committed to expand Hallmark’s mindset in the areas of:• Marketplace(theproductswesell)• Workforce(thediversityofour

employees)• Workplace(ourinternalwork

environment) Hallmark’s vision to create products and services that emotionally connect our world is a direct reflection of Hallmarkers—our life experiences, and ability to connect with others in real, life-affirming ways. As we aim to fully embrace the rich diversity within our company, we will enhance our consumer relationships and brand reputation, as well. Please join me in bringing to life Hallmark’s vision of making a genuine difference in “every life, every day...”our future success depends on it.

WhatexperiencesandperspectivesofHallmarkemployeesenableour company to sincerely and profoundly create an emotionally connected world? Differing perspectives based upon race, gender and age are among the visible differences within our workforce. The charts on the corresponding page provide some insight into our demographics…however, it’s not the whole story. Diversity of thought, Myers-Briggs type, disabilities, religious beliefs, and sexual orientation are a few other ways that represent how we are different. “Having a diverse workforce means providing an environment where each employee can bring their full self to work,” says KarleneWagner-Jackson,humanresourcesmanager–diversityand inclusion. “One of the best ways for us to ensure we have an inclusive culture is to celebrate the variety of differences each of us carries with us daily.”

Recruitment and retentionHallmark strives, through recruitment and hiring practices, to attract and retain more people of color and other aspects of diversity to our workforce. Hallmark’s recruiting staff is heavily involved in networking and relationship-building with local, regional and national diverse organizations and area Chambers of Commerce. Hallmark focuses its university recruitment efforts primarily on 11 college campuses, five of which provide access to African-American and Hispanic students. Dawn Harp, corporate recruiting manager, suggests Hallmark will know it has succeeded in attracting and retaining a diverse workforce when it more proportionally reflects the faces and perspectives of our customers. “It may start with managers deciding who to hire, and how to create and manage a diverse team. But the success of diversity and inclusion lies in the hands of every employee and our willingness to engage, accept and embrace our differences in appearance, life experiences and ideas.”

DIVERSITY IN PRODUCTSinceramenteBased in San Antonio, Texas, HEB is a premier, regional chain and one of the largest independent food retailers in the nation. The 265 HEB stores in Texas include Expressions From Hallmark departments. Like Hallmark, HEB is privately owned by its founding family who believes strongly in the value of customer loyalty. In its most recent greeting card contract renewal, HEB selected Hallmark over American Greetings. One of the reasons was the Hallmark Sinceramente offering. HEB felt the product spoke better to its Hispanic customers, and offered significantly more footage than our competitor. Since taking over their greeting card business, Hallmark increased HEB’s Hispanic greeting card footage more than 56%—to more than 30 feet of Sinceramente in some of HEB’s most dominant stores. In addition, Hallmark has grown their seasonal card business by aggressively outposting Sinceramente during major seasons. Their 2010 Christmas card sales were up more than 8% over the previous year. In addition, Hallmark’s Party Express stadium cups featuring licensed characters are highly successful with the Hispanic demographic. HEB sold more than 1.5 million cups in 2010.

Mahogany & Tree of LifeWithMahoganyandTreeofLife,diverseandinclusiveproducts begin with up-close-and-personal interactions with

focus groups and Facebook friends. The two lines are created and managed by one team. The intimacy of these focus groups creates pure Hallmark moments, allowing us to discuss life with consumers, resulting in authentic messages and images that resonate with their senders and recipients. “Wecombinefocusgroups,markettoursandstore visits into one three-day national visit to a target city each year,” explains Clarissa Crumpton, associate product manager III. “Our focus groups are typically held in homes of friends, churches, synagogues or community centers. And sometimes, participants at these events end up being cast in photo shoots.” Last year, a friend of a team member’s mother hosted a Mahogany focus group in her Miami, FL, church. A Father’s Day focus group in the Kansas City area drew together a few dozen African-American men with their children—several of whom were photographed and featured on Mahogany cards. To refresh outdated artwork for the Mahogany line, the team planned an illustration workshop. “It’s important to make sure we continue to have a range of ages, skin tones, hair styles,etc,”explainsJenWalker,artdirector.“Soweinvitedartists to sketch both men and women at the photo studio. Our only expense was food—all of our participants were volunteers. And from that workshop, we’ve placed 40 new illustrations in the Mahogany line.”

DIVERSITY IN MARKETING

In television commercials—as well as in print advertising, direct mail, online presence and in-store merchandising—we tell compelling stories filled with the genuine emotion consumers expect from Hallmark. Over the course of the year and through various marketing tactics, our goal is to make casting choices that feel balanced and representative of our diverse consumer base. Workingwithouradvertisingagenciesandinternalstudios, Hallmark’s marketing organization spent 2010

laying the groundwork for our new brand campaign: Life is a specialoccasion.We’llshowconsumershowourbrandandproducts can help them recognize and celebrate the kind of perfectly imperfect, unplanned moments that don’t happen every day—but could happen any day. The creative direction for the new work includes words like expressive, playful, casual, handcrafted, real—and inclusive. More than ever, our marketing and merchandising will reflect the diverse backgrounds and relationships of our consumers.

EMPLOYEE RESOURCE GROUPSThe mission of Hallmark’s Employee Resource Groups (ERGs) is to help our employee community

recognize, embrace and learn from our differences—and to share, understand and work together more

cohesively. Membership is open to all employees who have a sincere interest in the mission of the ERG.

In 2010, the ERGs enriched diversity and inclusion efforts in these ways:

Hallmark African-American Leadership (HAAL)• OneofHAAL’smostimportantprioritiesistohelp

recruit and retain top talent from among the African-American workforce. Its members actively engage in community outreach and networking to increase the prominence and reputation of Hallmark as an employer.

• In2010HAALheldajointmeetingwithmembersofSprint and Blue Cross and Blue Shield employee resource

groups to share successes and challenges, and create synergies to improve the effectiveness of their education and outreach during Black History Month.

• ByreachingouttoHallmark’ssummerinterns,HAALmembers identified community and social concerns that hadn’t been addressed in their internship experience. As a result, future African-American interns moving to Kansas City for the summer will be assigned a mentor from HAAL to provide additional counsel and guidance to help them adjust to the community and social scene.

• HAALislookeduponasoneofthecity’ssuccessstories,and is commonly approached by other companies seeking to effectively create and manage employee resource groups.

“Wemadealotofconnectionsin2010,andexpandedourvisibility in the Kansas City area,” says HAAL chair Damon Lewis. “Doing things like Christmas in October, attending NAACP events and representing Hallmark at city and regional events has helped improve our company’s visibility as a diverse and inclusive employer.”

• HEREalsohostedalunchtimepresentation,attracting60 Hallmarkers, to hear three prominent Kansas Citians speak about how it feels to be openly gay in the public eye—and how they deal with perceptions and gain acceptance from the public and their peers.

“One thing we’ve learned over our ERG’s 13-year history is we’re not just a resource for our own members,” says Andre duBroc,2010Chair.“Weserveasconnectors—withinourcompany and our community—helping to influence how our company interacts and communicates authentically with the gay population.”

Millennials Employee Resource Group (MERG)• Lessthan15%ofHallmarkemployeesareyoungerthan

30. They are a workplace minority whose views and expectations differ from those of their co-workers. As an ERG, the group has helped develop and deliver internship and employee orientation programs to identify and address “generational” differences in cell phone and texting use, meeting etiquette and business dress variations for young employees working in the various areas of our company.

• MERGmembersprovidehelpfulinsightfordevelopmentof products and services aimed at younger demographics. Their input was especially helpful with the revision of an everyday love and anniversary card line in 2010, and with the creation of a significant sales presentation for Hallmark Business Expressions that involved client communication recommendations for the Millennial demographic.

• MERGputitsyouthfulenergytogooduse.DuringHallmark’s Christmas in October community service drive, 40 MERG volunteers and their friends captained 3 homes, and an additional 30 volunteers took part in service projects at the Kansas City Zoo.

“Some of our younger employees had worked here for years, but for the longest time, hadn’t met anyone near their age,” saysMERGchair,JohnnieWeathersby.“Oneofourmostimportant roles for our group is to provide a place to meet and network with other young people so they feel more connected at Hallmark and within the community.”

• Groupmembersassistedwithrecruitingandcampusevents,and presented a workshop at the Asian-American Student UnionConference.

“Asian-Americans are described as the forgotten minority,” says AARCH Chair Anita Ranhotra.“Our group’s objective is to educate Hallmarkers about this ethnic group and potential market. If you believe the exchange is valuable, and you’ve learned something new, then we’ve accomplished our goal.”

Hispanic Education Awareness Resource Team (HEART)• HEARTisheavilyinvolvedinMattieRhodes,aKansas

City-based nonprofit that provides mental health counseling and family services to a growing Hispanic population. Mattie Rhodes bridges cultures and communities through the arts. So it’s an especially compelling organization to donate the creative services and time of Hallmark volunteers.

• Morethan20HallmarkersattendedMattieRhodes’annualfund-raising luncheon in 2010, and extended hundreds of hours of personal volunteer time and financial support through Hallmark’s Volunteer Involvement Pays program. They also organized two employee arts supply drives to benefit the organization.

• HEARTvolunteersconvergedonMattieRhodes’annual“Dia de las Muertas” celebration to man art booths and sell concessions. In return, Mattie Rhodes staff members visited Hallmark during Hispanic Heritage month to teach employees how to make traditional tissue flowers.

“Mattie Rhodes provides a great way to connect our employees to the Hispanic Community, and help them learn more about the culture,” says HEART Chair Andrea Gomez. In 2010, Andrea was invited to join the Board at Mattie Rhodes, and serves on its Executive Committee. “As much as we’re able to help a wonderful nonprofit, our involvement with Mattie Rhodes has helped increase the connection and visibility of our Hispanic employees within our own company and our community—it’s a wonderful relationship.”
