About the NAPM

The National Association of Presort Mailers (“NAPM”) is a trade association composed of 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 is to:

1. Represent the interests of all presort mailers.
2. Improve communications between the US Postal Service and the presort mailing industry.
3. Promote professional and ethical business practices among members.
4. Develop and improve USPS worksharing programs to produce cost saving and service benefits to presort mailers and the USPS.

The National Association of Presort Mailers will continue to pursue those objectives for the benefit the membership and will convey our position on specific issues to the USPS management, the Postal Regulatory Commission and 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 seven Postal Service 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 $5,500 or $1,100 per year depending on the amount of business they do with the presort mailing industry. Contributing members pay a minimum of $300.00 per year.  By joining the National Association of Presort Mailers you will be helping to not only protect, but actually enhance, postal worksharing programs.

MEETINGS
The National Association of Presort Mailers have at least one, and sometimes two, member meeting each year to discuss issues.   The Annual/Winter meeting is usually held in February.  This is the meeting at which the members elect Directors.  Other meetings are held as needed to address specific issues or provide training.

In addition to in-person, face-to-face meetings the NAPM also hosts (1) a Monthly Conference Call/Webinar for members during which we discuss developments and issues of interest and (2) quarterly conference calls specifically designed to serve our growing number of small to mid-sized volume members by encouraging them to share information and ideas on the unique issues faced by these members.
