Chris Gordon, Member
As Founder and CEO of RE3 Gifts, Chris and his team help organizations recruit, reward, and retain their best people with thoughtful, timely gifts. Through RE3’s trusted program, business leaders enhance the quality, design, and impact of the apparel and gifts they give to employees and clients, helping to foster a great brand and culture.

Jim Herr, Member
Jim has been active at Parron Hall for over 40 years but, in fact, he has been involved in the business his entire life. As he says, “having been born into it, I learned a lot sitting around the kitchen table growing up.” His education didn’t end there however – he graduated Magna Cum Laude with a degree in finance. While highly qualified to own and run Parron Hall which was founded in 1947, the business enjoys continued success due to Jim’s loyalty and philosophy about working with his team of 45 people: “I really allow people to work for our customers with great support from leadership and I reward outstanding performance. We are very team-oriented. We allow people to excel at what they are good at.” Looking at the 12-year average tenure of Parron Hall’s staff, the longstanding list of loyal clients, and years of successful ownership, it’s clear that Jim’s leadership style creates a winning environment for everyone.
