Washington, DC – The Postal Regulatory Commission this week appointed Ann Fisher as Director, Office of Public Affairs and Government Relations (PAGR). Fisher has been the acting director in this position following the confirmation of the former director of the office, Nanci E. Langley, as a Postal Regulatory Commissioner in June 2008.

“Ann will build on the work that Commissioner Langley started when the Commission first established this office last year,” said Chairman Dan G. Blair. “Ann has been a valuable member of the Commission’s senior staff and I look forward to her efforts in representing the Commission to the public, the media and Capitol Hill.”

Fisher moves to the post after having served as Chief of Staff to Commission Chairman Dan G. Blair. Fisher had served in that position since January 2007. Previously, she had served as Deputy Staff Director for the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs.
Assisting Fisher in the PAGR Office is Annie Kennedy, who joined the Commission in August 2008 to serve as Consumer Relations Specialist. Previously, Ms. Kennedy had served as a Government Relations Representative at the United States Postal Service.

The Office of Public Affairs & Government Relations serves as the public face of the Commission. The Office is the Commission’s primary resource in support of public outreach and education; media relations; and liaison with Congress, the United States Postal Service, and other government agencies. PAGR advises the Commissioners and staff on legislative issues and policies related to the Commission and the Postal Service in addition to coordinating the preparation of both Congressional testimony and Congressional inquiries concerning Commission policies and activities.
