In 1961, the Boston Globe newspaper printed a story entitled, “High Postal Man Will Address Local Mail Users Council.”  Over the decades the bond between business customers and the Postal Service continued to evolve throughout the country, and today, these councils, now known as Postal Customer Councils, provide a unique opportunity for any business to meet with top level managers of the Postal Service to obtain information, share ideas, address issues, grow their business and network with other business colleagues. “The Postal Customer Council history has a proven track record of success and has sustained its reputation throughout the decades,” said PCC Administrator George Kippenhan. The Greater Boston PCC received the highest honor from USPS Headquarters in 2022 winning the coveted “Top Metro PCC in the Nation” as well as “Best Innovation of the Year”.  We look forward to growing our membership. We encourage any local business to join us.
