The Greater Madison Area PCC kicked off it's 40th Anniversary year in grand fashion with a successful Annual Meeting and Breakfst event at the Olbrich Botanical Gardens in Madison on Thursday, February 9, 2023.
The event was attended by nearly 70 GMAPCC members and other special guests despite a major winter storm moving through the area. Everyone was treated to an excellent breakfast buffet and some great information from our three presenters. USPS Wisconsin District Manager, Jeff Drake spoke about the USPS's "Delivering for America" plan and the service improvements that are being realized as the plan progresses. Jim Toth from 6AM Marketing gave a presentation on being creative with Direct Mail Marketing campaigns, and Mike Filipski spoke about the Business Customer Gateway and Small Business Tools. The GMAPCC also handed out their local PCC awards for the Industry Person of the Year - Kari Ripp-Rosenstiel of Colony Brands; the Postal Person of the Year - Jeff Braaksma, the GMAPCC administrator and USPS Customer Relations Coordinator in Madison; and the Industry of the Year - Colony Brands.
Special thanks to Industry members and USPS leadership from the Green Bay and Milwaukee areas who attended the meeting, and to Da Sheik Woodard, USPS Customer Outreach Specialist from Washington D.C. who gathered video and interviews from attendees to be used at the National Postal Forum (NPF) in Charlotte N.C. in May 2023.
