160 PCCs Celebrate Golden Anniversary


Today in Tampa FL, Postmaster General Patrick R. Donahoe will salute more than 80,000 members of the Postal Customer Council (PCC) on the organization’s golden anniversary. The PCC was formed 50 years ago to help build cooperation and communication between the Postal Service and business mailers.

At 12 noon ET, more than 160 PCC organizations across the country will host local events to hear Donahoe’s remarks — live by satellite. Participants also will hear about new postal products and services and the revamped Postal Service website usps.com — all designed to make it easier for customers to do business with USPS.


From 9 am to 1 pm, the Miami-Dade County PCC, PCC of Broward County and the PCC of the Palm Beaches membership will join together at Dave & Busters located at 3000 Oakwood Blvd in Hollywood. South Florida businesses are invited to register in person (if not advance registration) to listen to the Postmaster General’s presentation, participate in round table discussions with local postal officials and industry professionals, meet their local Postmaster and the PCC Board of Directors, and network and share best practices with other business mailers and enjoy lunch!


Throughout the year, each PCC provides a forum for mailers to discuss and resolve mailing issues and to exchange ideas and offer suggestions on new postal products and services. It’s an opportunity to meet face to face in a friendly, informal setting to learn firsthand about the latest postal and industry news that may impact your business.


A highlight of the annual event will be the awards presentation, which will recognize outstanding achievements of PCCs around the country in categories including Industry Member of the Year, Education Program Excellence and the new Business Partner of the Year.
