Invite: Mon, May 20th - A 21st Century Postal Service

Please join NDN on Monday May 20th at noon for a luncheon discussion of postal reform, and how to modernize and save the Postal Service.

Joining us will be two of the four co-authors of a recently released paper urging the Postal Service to concentrate on what it does best -- final mile delivery -- and establish a charge for that service. George Gould is the former National Legislative and Political Director for the National Association of Letter Carriers; John Nolan is a former Deputy Postmaster General.  A similar final mile delivery charge is already established for packages and standard mail.  The authors call for extending that system to all mail.

The discussion will take place at NDN's event space, just a block from the White House, at 729 15th Street, NW, Washington. We'll serve lunch at noon, and the program will begin promptly at 12:15, ending at 1:30pm. 

Please RSVP here and we look forward to seeing you on May 20th. In case you cannot join us for the event in person, we will also be streaming the event live online.

Simon has just also published a short essay on the topic, for background.
