Time to Rebuild Our NAPS National Auxiliary
Time to Rebuild Our NAPS National Auxiliary
By Hazel Green
NAPS Auxiliary Eastern Region Vice President
As we embark this year with our NAPS family activities, it is imperative that we commence replenishing Auxiliary membership at the local and state levels. Our Auxiliary has a rich history of excellence, having been in existence for many years and consistently delivering innovative fundraising ideas to support NAPS’ legislative agenda locally and on Capitol Hill.
NAPS members: Our Auxiliary members have worked tirelessly over the years. It now is essential that we revitalize our ranks with new members and fresh perspectives to support NAPS’ legislative initiatives. The role of the Auxiliary has evolved significantly over the years.
In the 1970s and 80s, the Auxiliary conducted letter-writing campaigns to politicians, advocating for NAPS legislative priorities. However, with the advent of new technology since the 90s, our approach must adapt to remain effective.
I am taking the initiative to recruit spouses, partners, children aged 18 and older, family members and significant others of NAPS members from my local branch. I’m taking the first step by personally recruiting new members and asking for support from our NAPS members to ensure our National Auxiliary continues to flourish.
If each of us recruits one new member, we can fortify our National Auxiliary and enhance support for NAPS with innovative ideas. With your support, we can ensure the continued prosperity of our Auxiliary and its effective support for NAPS’ legislative initiatives.
Let’s make 2025 a year of revitalization, growth and success for our National Auxiliary.
