It takes the input of many to create a successful PCC.  Here's a list of industry and postal partners recently honored for their contributions to the Utah PCC.

Legacy Award
●Richard Boudrero, Manager, Central Distribution, Utah State University. Richard has been an active member of the Utah PCC since 1984—close to 30 years.  Has previously been the industry co-chair, is a member of the Mailers Technical Advisory Committee -- a national group that provides input to the postal leaders -- has mentored other PCC members and his own employees, is currently our group’s vice president and will take over as president next year.

Award of Merit
●Rex Carlisle, Director of Distribution and Fulfillment, Deseret Book.  Rex served as the Industry Co-Chair during 2010.    Rex was the steady, thoughtful hand who got us going in the direction that has made us so successful of late.  Because of that success, Rex was invited to meet with top postal management and the Postal Service Board of Governors – the first time we’ve ever had a co-chair invited to do that.

●Lynda Cornia, Graphic Artist, SOS Staffing.   We’ve sent out more hard copy mailings this year than any other year in the history of our group.  Plus we’ve had wonderful printed materials for National PCC Day.  The design person behind every single one of those hard copy designs was Lynda Cornia.

●Kristi Patterson, Regional Sales manager, MSI Worldwide Mailing.  Kristi is currently serving as the secretary of our group for the second year in a row.  You might not know that our organization gets audited nearly every year – and Kristi’s accurate minutes are vitally important to that audit.  She’s been an enthusiastic supporter of the PCC and does many extra tasks to help out – from providing free pens for PCC Day to even offering to help set up events. Her enthusiasm is endless and we appreciate her.

●DeVaughn Simper, Manager, Quality Assurance, Send Out Cards – DeVaughn hosted the Business Mail Lunch and Learn to a packed house.

● Gloria Rueckert, USPS secretary --   Not always seen, but always extremely important,  Gloria handles the vast majority of the behind the scenes details, from buying ice for the drinks at the Lunch and Learns to paying bills in the thousands of dollars.  She’s prepared every name tag and name tent you’ve ever seen at a PCC meeting; handles all the details of credit card, check and PayPal payments; is always the first person you see at a PCC event as she always runs the registration table; prepares just about every document every signed by the co chairs; and proofs newsletters and brochures and makes valuable suggestions.  She is so behind the scenes that you might not know she’s been the PCC treasurer since1992. As the treasurer, she balances our account to the penny after each event and treats PCC money as if it were her own.
