The 2020 Legislative Training Seminar took place March 8-11. Approximately 600 NAPS engaged with their members of Congress to advocate on behalf of EAS level postal employees and the Postal Service. Our goal continuance goal is to communicate with our elected officials both in the nation's Capitol and on "our" home-turf -- back in the states and congressional districts. We should focus on those issues promoted at the LTS. We need to advance the NAPS agenda designed to strengthen EAS employee rights and the Postal Service, enhance our national presence and cultivate loyal legislative champions. As NAPS members and as LTS delegates we need to advance our issues to elected policymakers with intensity and passion.
The NAPS Legislative Training Seminar (LTS) is held every spring in the Washington DC metropolitan area.
The purpose of the seminar is twofold:
Educate our members on the political process and the legislative issues facing the United States Postal Service
To translate this curriculum into successful meetings with lawmakers and their staff on Capitol Hill.
Over 500 retired and active postal managers, postmasters and supervisors attend this event anually. Our delegates are addressed by members of the United States Senate and House of Representatives and executives of the United States Postal Service.
The USPS continues to be held in the highest regard by the American public. In addition, new partnerships with some of America’s most prominent retailers are creating promising new streams of revenue for the Postal Service. However, until our legislators remove the regulatory hurdles which are holding back the Postal Service, the growth potential from these new business lines cannot be realized. It is up to us as advocates for a strong, vibrant Universal Delivery System, to accurately paint this picture for the Congress.
