Idealliance 2017 MUMMA Award
Call for Nominations
DEADLINE December 15, 2016
For excellence in industry-postal communications and collaboration
to create a more competitive and efficient total mail supply chain
The Idealliance Donald A. Mumma Award is the highest award of distinction that Idealliance presents in the total mail supply chain. The award is named for Donald A. Mumma, a US Postal Service branch manager, who was described as a new type of US Postal Service manager in the early 1980’s with a customer focus and seeing the need for US Postal Service and industry dialogue. He saw the advantage for both mailers and the US Postal Service to work together and was instrumental in launching the collaborative and worksharing approach between the Graphic Communications Association, the predecessor of Idealliance, and the US Postal Service. Throughout his many years of service with the US Postal Service, his legacy continued with those whom he mentored. Donald Mumma died in 1983 and the Mumma Awards was created in 1985. The Mumma Award is a reminder that communication and collaboration between the US Postal Service and the industry are the key ingredients for our success.
