FAIRRINGTON TRANSPORTATION SPONSORED MFSA POSTAL BOOT CAMP
Posted 05/06/10
The MFSA has embarked on a great continuing education program that delivers key learning where you need it, when you need it.
Three regional workshops will be offered this year:
• Pathway to Success in Operations, a 9-hour program for experienced mailers
• Fulfillment for the Future, a 6-hour program for experienced fulfillment service provides
• Postal Boot Camp, a 6-hour program for new employees on the basics of postal regulations.
Fairrington Transportation was a proud sponsor of Postal Boot Camp, which was held in our corporate headquarters in Bolingbrook on May 4, 2010. We believe it is vitally important to support the industry relevant, substantive ways.
For example, as customers place demands on mailers to create budget-driven programs, it becomes more important than ever to continue to learn about the latest postal industry best practices, regulations, equipment and operations. If travel budgets are cut, how can people access the education and information they need?
These regional workshops offer MFSA members practical, cost-effective programs for staying current with the industry.
Information about Postal Boot Camp and other MFSA Regional Training Workshops is available online at www.MFSAnet.org or contact MFSA: 800-333-6272.
