Forty plus years ago the Postmaster General’s Mailers' Technical Advisory Committee (MTAC) was founded. It is a venue for the United States Postal Service to share technical information with mailers and to receive advice and recommendations from mailers on matters concerning mail-related products and services, in order to enhance customer value and expand the use of these products and services for mutual benefit. MTAC is formulated with 168 association executives and representatives within 56 national industry associations, and the senior executives of the United States Postal Service. General meetings are held four times a year at the USPS Headquarters in DC and workgroups work through out the year.
