The National Association of Presort
Mailers is a trade association composed of individuals and firms concerned
with the present and future of postal worksharing. It is also a
professional association in that it includes individuals who have acquired
knowledge and experience that qualifies them as specialists in performing
mail-processing services. The primary purpose of the National Association
of Presort Mailers (NAPM) is to:
-
Represent the interests
of all presort mailers.
-
Improve communications
between the US Postal Service and the presort mailing industry.
-
Promote professional and
ethical business practices among members.
-
Develop and improve USPS
worksharing programs to produce cost saving and service benefits to
presort mailers and the USPS.
Our Association will continue to pursue
those objectives related to mail presorting and prebarcoding which will
benefit the membership and will convey our position on specific issues to
the USPS management, the Postal Rate commission and to the appropriate
members of Congress.
The NAPM was formally established on
June 26, 1984. Membership is
open to major mailers and presort service bureaus. To date, member firms
represent all ten postal areas and collectively process over 75 million
pieces of mail daily in over 100 cities.
MEMBERSHIP
There are three classifications of
membership: Presort, Vendor and Contributing. Presort members are major
mailers and/or presort service bureaus.
Dues for Presort members are based on average daily volume. Vendors
currently pay $5,000 or $1,000 per year depending on the amount of
business they do with the presort mailing industry. Contributing members
pay a minimum of $300.00/year. Join us now and help us enhance the
worksharing programs with a strong and effective membership.
MEETINGS
The National Association of Presort
Mailers meets at least twice a year to discuss issues and to elect the
Board of Directors and officers.
Meetings
are normally held in the early fall in conjunction with the fall National
Postal Forum and in the winter at an appropriate location.
