Takin' Care of Business: Mark Your Calendar for Upcoming PCC Events

     National Postal Customer Council (PCC) Day is a time when postal officials and the nation’s PCC memberships get together to exchange ideas and viewpoints.  Beginning this year, this premier Fall event will expand and will be known as “National PCC Week.”

     During PCC Week, scheduled September 18-20, approximately 8,000 PCC members will hear PMG Pat Donahoe discuss the current state of the Postal Service. The week’s events also will include recognition of PCCs that have grown professionally through focused educational programs.

     USPS will distribute a pre-recorded video message available at all PCC venues. The video also will contain current information and product announcements.   Stay posted for information on PCC Week events in South Florida.  In the meantime, there are other local PCC activities scheduled:
