Leo Raymond

In March 2003, upon his retirement from a career with the US Postal Service that spanned over 35 years, Leo joined what was then MFSA, a trade association for commercial mail producers, serving as VP, Postal and Member Relations, for that group and its successor associations. For over thirteen years, he supported their members regarding general postal questions, mailing problems, and related government issues, as well as the associations’ chapter- and conference-based educational programs.
