Dec. 20 Executive Board Zoom Meeting 2022

Submitted by Jimmy Warden
NAPS Secretary/Treasurer

The Dec. 20 Executive Board Zoom meeting was called to order by President Ivan D. Butts. Not attending were New York Area Vice President Dee Perez, Mid-east Area Vice President Tony Dallojacono, Capitol-Atlantic Area Vice President Troy Griffin, MINK Area Vice President Kelly McCartney, Central Gulf Area Vice President Dwight Studdard and Texas Area Vice President Pam Davis.

The Postal Service has scheduled training symposiums to be held in Atlanta; National Harbor, MD; and Nashville for Customer Service supervisors, Level-22 and above. Attendance is estimated to be 8,000 among the three venues.

The board discussed holding NAPS meet-and-greet events on the symposiums’ free nights to introduce nonmembers to NAPS, providing information on the organization and explaining why they should join. The events also would afford current members an opportunity to meet the resident officers and local branch members.

There was discussion about having local branch support and participation, as well as the type of venue and associated costs. A motion was made by Eastern Region Vice President Richard Green, seconded by Northeast Region Vice President Tommy Roma, that NAPS arrange meet-and-greet events at the upcoming USPS training symposiums.

The motion passed unanimously. Immediate Past President Brian Wagner and Pioneer Area Vice President Ed Laster left the meeting early due to prior commitments and were not present to vote.
