During “National PCC Week” (September 17-21), more than 200 Postal Customer Councils will get together to exchange ideas and viewpoints in support of this year’s theme, “Together Toward Tomorrow.” In Miami, Giselle E. Valera, USPS Managing Director and Vice President, Global Business, will share the latest on global products and services. Postmaster General and Chief Executive Officer Patrick R. Donahoe will discuss the current state of the U.S. Postal Service via video message.

Postal Customer Councils consist of postal leaders and business mailers who work together to promote the value of mail, address mailing concerns, and exchange ideas to maximize the benefits of postal products, programs, and services. Through regular meetings, educational programs, and seminars, PCC members learn about the latest postal products and services that will help them grow their business. Though most PCC members include large business mailers, government agencies, and business mail service providers, small businesses can benefit from PCC membership, too.

For $30 per person, Miami’s “PCC Day” event on September 21 will include a continental breakfast and hot lunch. Participants also will have networking opportunities with postal representatives and mailing industry representatives/vendors. Business mailers should register at www.miamipcc.com by Friday, September 14.
