Re: NPPC Companies Receiving Awards at NPF

I would like to congratulate the many NPPC member companies that received awards at the most recent National Postal Forum in San Diego. I think it is rare that you see so many recipients from one organization. It simply reinforces what has been the case for many years that companies that are members of NPPC continue to be at the forefront of the mailing industry and leaders in driving innovation and efficiency across the postal system. Probably at no time in the history of the Postal Service has that been more important. Each of the companies that were honored has driven benefits for their company, their customers and also for the postal system and postal community in general.

We have attached the descriptions of the awards that appeared in the award ceremony program at the Postal Forum for the benefit of those of you that were unable to attend. Please join me in congratulating each of these fine companies and I am certain by the time the next Forum rolls around we will have additional NPPC member companies being honored for their leadership in the mailing industry.

Sincerely,
Chuck Fattore
Chairperson, NPPC

Partnership for Progress Award

Presented to AT&T

AT&T is the recipient of the Postal Service’s 2011 Partnership for Progress Award for its cutting-edge mobile device technology and its role in expanding customers’ access to Postal Service products and services.

AT&T - one of the strongest brands in American business - has consistently partnered with the Postal Service on innovative programs that enhance the power of mail for both organizations. AT&T's direct mail campaigns have resulted in significant gains for the company's customer acquisition and retention programs. And they have increased their emphasis on their First-Class statement and remittance mail, looking for new ways to increase customer interaction. The company has also had great success in using Priority Mail for shipment of mobile devices to their customers.

AT&T has been much more than just a customer of the Postal Service. Their commitment to working with the Postal Service team to create new value, generate synergies, and maximize the potential of the mail channel to build their business has been a model of cooperation. It is truly a partnership -- one that has been of great benefit to both organizations.
