Find Your Branch

Let's Get Busy!

Let’s Get Busy!

NAPS Central Gulf Area Vice President

I would like to challenge all National Auxiliary members to:

• Become more active and support all NAPS branches
• Ensure that all members are familiar with the National Auxiliary Constitution and Bylaws
• Ensure that all members know the mission of the National Auxiliary
• Keep members informed of the issues each branch is working to resolve
• Ensure that all members are aware of the importance of the Supervisors’ Political Action Committee (SPAC)
• Learn NAPS/Postal Service terminology, such as
  • —Thrift Savings Plan (TSP)
  • —Federal Employees Retirement Plan (FERS)
  • —Legislative Training Seminar (LTS)

I also would like to challenge all members of the National Auxiliary to strive to increase our membership. Discuss ways to attract more members to your next meeting. This year, if each member committed to recruiting a new member, it would double the Auxiliary’s strength.

The National Auxiliary needs increased membership to show strong support for NAPS in Washington, DC. Added support can be obtained by calling, texting and emailing our state and national lawmakers. Once a year, NAPS branches go to Capitol Hill during LTS to highlight issues and concerns of the Postal Service and NAPS.

The National Auxiliary can show continued support for NAPS branches throughout the year with increased telephone inquiries. Continued support will truly get the attention of the decision-makers on Capitol Hill who affect the Postal Service. Remember, there is strength in numbers.
