SEPTEMBER 2007
USPS Honors SDS Global Logistics CEO
September 21, 2007During the annual Postal Customer Council Day broadcast from Cincinnati, Ohio, a record 14,000 customers and postal officials gathered at more than 150 sites to hear Postmaster General Jack Potter discuss the future of the Postal Service and to announce award winners for the most influential and active councils and individuals. Potter discussed the importance of these valuable participants and talked about how their participation is critical to the future of the USPS.
Addressing the future of the USPS, the Postmaster focused on leveraging cutting-edge technology through new machinery and the international bar coding system. The Postmaster General also spoke of the new competitive environment created by the new postal law. He said the law, which will keep rates at or below inflation, is going to make the Postal Service more cognizant than ever of the bottom line. He stated that, "It will make us more effective, hold our feet to the fire and make us deliver..."
Perhaps most importantly, the Postmaster discussed the councils, postal workers and the industry leaders that were so instrumental for much of the positive change over the past year. In an environment with so many contributors, it is not easy to stand out, but there were a few that were distinguished enough to be named as stand-outs by the Postmaster himself. Leading the list of those honorees was SDS Global Logistics President and CEO and current Industry Co-Chair of the Greater New York PCC, Tony Racioppo, who was announced as the PCC Industry Member of the Year. Other winners included:
- PCC Postal Service Member of the Year (tie): Laurie Timmons, Northeast Area marketing manager and Robin Ware, Postmaster of Columbus, OH.
- PCC District Manager of the Year: Ken McArthur, Salt Lake City, UT.
- PCC of the Year (two categories): Greater St. Louis (large), South Central Minnesota (small).
- Communications Program Excellence: Greater New York (Gold), Fort Worth (silver), Southern Nevada (bronze).
- Education Program Excellence (tie): Buffalo/Niagara and Fort Worth (gold), Greater New York (silver), Greater Dallas (bronze).
