And the Winner is...


And the awards just keep coming for the Greater New York Postal Customer Council (PCC).
New York District Manager William Schnaars proudly announced yesterday that the USPS 2012 Premier PCC Recognition Program awarded the Gold Level Certificate to the Greater NY PCC.
“This is one of the premier PCC’s in the country,” Schnaars said to the local chapter attending National PCC Day in New York City’s Alexander Hamilton Customs House. “We have won more awards than any other PCC––22 to be exact–– including PCC of the Year Award in 2008."

Big smile for Marketing Mgr. Raschelle Parker
But the awarding winning didn’t end there. NY District Marketing Manager Raschelle Parker was genuinely overcome when minutes later, it was announced she won the National PCC Person of the Year ––an award given to only one Postal person in the entire country.
“To be honored nationally is a real distinction for me as well as my District and our customers,” said a very happy Parker. “Exceptional customer service is what we strive for daily and when we are able to assist our customers in growing their knowledge about our services and products, we too––as an organization––are successful.”

USPS Chief Marketing & Sales Officer, Executive VP Nagisa Manabe was guest speaker at the event and spoke to the audience about exciting new concepts being developed to add value to the mail. Northeast Area Customer Service Program Analyst Michelle Saracusa provided technical guidance about Intelligent Mail Barcode (IMB), and Marketing Consultant Peg North addressed trends in multi-cultural direct marketing and Business to Business (B2B).
The PCC brings together Postal and industry executives, local business people and mail related vendors to reach mutual business objectives. The NY PCC provides educational workshops and hosts monthly business meetings where participants can learn about the latest Postal information and resources, innovative marketing ideas, and tools to help grow the business. 
There are hundreds of local PCC chapters around the country and once a year National PCC Day is held to announce the top performers.
Beatrice Broadhurst of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York was glad she attended National PCC Day. "I became a member so I could learn more about Postal regulations, meet new vendors and test the latest technologies," she said. "At events like this you get to do that all under one roof."
