Another Stellar Megan J. Brennan Award WILDS Luncheon!
On January 16, 2025, Women in Logistics and Delivery Services (WILDS) awarded its fourth annual Postmaster General Megan J. Brennan Award for outstanding leadership in the logistics industry. This year’s recipient, Maureen Goodson, retiring National Postal Forum (NPF) CEO for 30 years, was recognized for her exceptional leadership in collaborating among industry, regulatory and postal stakeholders. Ms. Goodson shared her gratitude for a wonderful career saying “it is an honor to receive the 4th Annual Megan J. Brennan Award of Excellence from the WILDS organization. To receive the award from an organization that epitomizes partnership and leadership in the industry, is the most important award I could receive as I finish my 30-year career”. There was festive energy throughout the well-lighted space and an especially delicious lunch at RIS restaurant, Washington, DC.
Anita Pursley introduced the three prior MJB Award winners who were all present. Pritha Mehra, U.S. Postal Service Chief Information Officer and first winner made a witty comment on how nice it was to be physically present as her award was given via video due to unexpected travel. The second winner, Tammy Hull, Leader of the Postal Service Office of the Inspector General (OIG) and third winner, Kate Muth, who heads up the International Mailers Advisory Group (IMAG), highlighted the impressive award.
That’s not all. A surprise drop-in by the 75th Postmaster General Louis DeJoy delighted attendees. The PMG acknowledged his own leadership starting with Postal Service Board of Governors Chair, Amber McReynolds, Tammy Hull, and Postal Regulatory Commissioner Ashley Poling. After also greeting Pritha Mehra and Judy de Torok of his leadership team, PMG DeJoy awarded the Postmaster General Lifetime Achievement Award to Ms. Goodson for her amazing NPF accomplishments!
Shoshona Grove and Anita Pursley were warm masters of ceremony and our host Ris (full name?), first female executive chef in Washington, D.C. personally welcomed the group of 75 attendees. The fourth annual MBJ Award luncheon was a most wonderful celebration of women leaders in the logistics industry!
