Jacksonville Welcomes Northeast Florida Postal Customer Council Breakfast and Golf Tournament
The vibrant city of Jacksonville is gearing up for a fantastic opportunity! On May 14, 2025, the Northeast Florida Postal Customer Council (PCC) is inviting all associates of local businesses to start their day off right with a delicious breakfast. This event isn’t just about filling your belly; it’s about filling your mind with valuable insights about the postal world.
What to Expect at the Breakfast?
Held at the Deerwood Country Club, located at 10239 Golf Club Drive, Jacksonville, FL, the breakfast is set to take place from 7:30 a.m. to 9:00 a.m.. The highlight of the morning will undoubtedly be the keynote speaker, Adam Scott, who serves as the Senior Director of Postal Initiatives at Pitney Bowes. He will cover a range of topics including the ever-important price change process, the exciting 2025 USPS promotions, growth incentives, and proposed refinements to USPS service standards. If you are part of a business that relies on reliable mail delivery, this is an event you won’t want to miss!
Why Support Small Businesses?
The PCC has a longstanding history of supporting small businesses in our community. For over two hundred years, they’ve provided the help and resources needed for businesses to thrive, especially during challenging times. The Northeast Florida PCC, consisting of dedicated USPS employees and partners in the mailing and shipping industry, works tirelessly to ensure businesses stay informed about the latest postal products, programs, and services.
A Look Back in Time
Did you know that the Postal Customer Councils were established way back in 1961? The main goal? To foster closer working relationships between the USPS and commercial mailers. This connection is invaluable for businesses that rely on the postal system to deliver their goods and services efficiently. The United States Postal Service (USPS) serves approximately 169 million addresses six to seven days each week – a remarkable feat that showcases its commitment to keeping the country connected.
The USPS Transformation Effort
Speaking of commitment, the USPS is currently rolling out a 10-year transformation plan known as “Delivering for America.” This ambitious plan aims to modernize the postal network, improve service quality, and restore financial sustainability. It’s noteworthy that the USPS operates independently without the support of tax dollars, relying instead on the sale of postage, products, and services to keep the mail flowing.
Annual Golf Tournament to Honor Veterans
But wait, there’s more! The Northeast Florida PCC is also excited to announce an annual golf tournament scheduled for November 22, 2024, at The Golf Club at South Hampton, located in beautiful St. Augustine, FL. This tournament is more than just a friendly competition; it’s a heartfelt tribute to our veterans. Attendees will not only have the chance to network with fellow business associates but also contribute to a worthy cause that honors those who have served.
Get Involved!
Local businesses are encouraged to take part in both events to show their support for the community and enrich their understanding of postal initiatives. To learn more or to register for the golf tournament, attendees can visit the Northeast Florida PCC website or contact Sherwin Salla directly via email.
So mark your calendars, Jacksonville! Get ready to break bread with fellow entrepreneurs and gain valuable insights during an exciting breakfast. After all, it’s all about creating connections and lifting each other up, one event at a time!
