Events across the nation on National Postal Customer Council Day will showcase the important role of PCCs in helping businesses succeed using the mail. At many locations, customers will get a chance to hear from senior postal executives.

Thousands of mailers are expected to join the U.S. Postal Service and PCC members in celebrating "America's Partnership" on Sept. 17. Nearly every PCC across the nation will be hosting an event.

Postmaster General John Potter will deliver a national satellite broadcast from St. Louis, home of the Greater St. Louis PCC, which was 2007 National PCC of the Year. Joining the broadcast from other locations will be Deputy Postmaster General and Chief Operating Officer Patrick Donahoe and Shipping and Mailing Services President Robert Bernstock. In addition, more than two dozen Postal Service officers will participate in events across the country.

National PCC Day is an annual event that recognizes the work of local councils in helping the Postal Service improve service to businesses large and small. National PCC Leadership awards will be presented, recognizing outstanding service and individual achievement. Workshops on Intelligent Mail and Shipping Services will be conducted to educate businesses on the latest innovations and best practices in the mailing industry.

Through education, workshops and an active dialogue with postal officials on the local level, PCCs are enhancing the value of mail and supporting the growth of the mailing industry.
