The Board of Directors approved a new name for the Messenger Courier Association of the Americas (MCAA). The new name “MCAA-The Expedited Transportation and Logistics Association” reflects the position the association holds as the leading organization representing courier companies in the same-day delivery industry.
The MCAA-The Expedited Transportation and Logistics Association was founded in 1987 and has spent its years promoting and advancing the common interests held by its members and those involved in the same-day national courier service.The association has been discussing the name change for several years and recent industry surveys imply that MCAA member’s business operations are shifting. The fundamentals of the courier business such as delivering letters and packages across town are still available but courier companies are now offering more regional and national 24 hour or less deliveries. Because of the growing capabilities of the courier companies nation-wide the association is recognizing their need to grow and expand with its members.
