Nonprofit Mailers Organization Appoints Siviter as Their New Top Executive

The Alliance of Nonprofit Mailers, a significant player in Washington policy circles representing around 300 charities, associations, and nonprofit organisations, is undergoing a leadership change. Kathleen Siviter has been appointed as the next executive director, effective from October 1.

Kathleen Siviter, who currently serves as assistant executive director of the National Association of Presort Mailers, is set to take over from Stephen Kearney, who is retiring after 12 years at the helm of the Alliance. Siviter's extensive experience in the mailing industry makes her a fitting choice for the role.

Prior to her appointment, Siviter led the National Association of Presort Mailers and has also run her own firm, Postal Consulting Services Inc., for 25 years. She was also vice president for the Association for Postal Commerce. Earlier in her career, Siviter spent 12 years in the U.S. Postal Service.

James Asselmeyer, Alliance board president and vice president of operations at Guideposts, praised Stephen Kearney's contributions to the Alliance and the nonprofit mailing community. He also expressed his confidence in Siviter, stating that her expertise and leadership will be instrumental in ensuring the Alliance's mission to provide its members with affordable and reliable access to the U.S. mail system for fundraising and program communication.

The Alliance has been vocal in its opposition to the implementation of Louis DeJoy's turnaround plan, Delivering for America. The organisation argues that this plan is making conditions worse by driving away mail volume, increasing rates, lowering service standards and performance, and investing in large package processing facilities that may not be necessary.

This opposition comes amidst a series of changes in USPS policies, including a 7% increase in parcel rates and stamps, as reported in the article "USPS hikes parcel rates and stamps by 7%". Additionally, parcel carriers have announced surcharges for the busy holiday season, as detailed in the article "Parcel carriers hike surcharges for busy holiday season".

The situation at USPS has also been reflected in other countries, with Canada Post recording its largest-ever loss as parcel volumes dropped 36%, as reported in the article "Canada Post records largest-ever loss as parcel volumes drop 36%".
