WASHINGTON, April 21 /PRNewswire/ -- Tens of thousands of Postal Service
customers from around the country will hear Postmaster General John E. Potter
on May 26, National Postal Customer Council (PCC) Day, when he delivers his
first-ever national satellite broadcast on the state of the United States
Postal Service.
It is anticipated that Potter will address a range of topics that fall
under the organization's Transformation Plan, the Postal blueprint for the
future he submitted to Congress two years ago. Since that time, the
organization has scored impressive successes. The Postal Service has pushed
service to record levels; used technology to increase efficiency and provide
improved access; offered new and enhanced products and services; maintained
relevancy and value of the mail as a major communication channel and managed
expenses, cutting billions of dollars from the budget.
"As the Postal Service continues to transform, our ability to communicate
quickly, accurately, and effectively becomes more important and more
challenging," said Anita Bizzotto, Postal Service Chief Marketing Officer.
"The PCC network is an excellent channel for us to educate and communicate
with our customers about how we are delivering results through transformation
efforts."
Sitting at the center of the $900 billion mailing industry in this
country, which employs over nine million people, the Postal Service not only
plays a vital role in the industry, but also in the nation's economy as well.
The Postmaster General's televised address will be the focal point of the
Postal Service's National Postal Customer Council Day. The annual event
honors more than 200 Councils that serve as liaisons to the Postal Service's
business and non-profit customers in cities and regions throughout the nation.
Postmaster General Potter will deliver his presentation at noon E.S.T.
from the New England Mail Expo in Boxborough, MA. The Expo is a day-long PCC
event sponsored by six Councils based in Rhode Island and southeastern
Massachusetts.
The Postal Customer Council network is made up of more than 200 Councils
whose memberships range in size from less than 100 to several thousand
businesses and non-profit organizations. Created in 1961 as a group of
entities through which the Postal Service and its customers could build
dialogue around issues of mutual interest, the Councils today are an
integrated network with approximately 175,000 members.
The May 26 National PCC Day will be the first PCC Day since Postmaster
General Potter was appointed by the Postal Service Board of Governors in 2001.
