A quality education must be current and relevant to deliver
value to the business, its customers and its employees. With the store
owner in mind, AMPC established an institution of higher learning to
create a structured format to provide a method of informed success.
A trial and error, mistake oriented process to an education is
expensive and dangerous. AMPC sought to eliminate that by founding the Retail Shipping Institute.RSi — Retail Shipping Institute is a division of
AMPC with a Board of Trustees appointed by the Board of Directors to
oversee the education of AMPC members and the curriculum of RSi.
Classes are held at events and at our campus in Rockford, Illinois.
Most popular are the FasTrac class for new store owners and the
SuccessTrac program for experienced owners.
Classes consist
of Certified Core MPC Skills Classes which are required and a
comprehensive offering of Elective Classes. Each class is assigned
credit hours that count toward a Masters in Retail Shipping Management
degree.

Charmaine M. Fennie Scholarship
The
Charmaine M. Fennie Memorial Scholarship Fund was established in 2003

Centers, Inc. Mrs. Fennie was an accomplished business leader, musician
and writer. Her leadership of the national trade association for the
Mail and Parcel industry spanned a decade and provided a legacy of
industry improvements and innovations. Her ability to effectively
communicate and interject humor in all aspects of the human condition
have forever endeared her in the hearts of thousands of independent
retail shipping center operators across the country. Her memory and our
appreciations for her contributions are aptly served through this
scholarship program and its investment in future generations.
