By becoming a member of NAPUS, Postmasters and OICs will gain access to many valuable services and benefits available only to NAPUS members. In addition, you will join a special fraternity of more than 34,000 other Postmasters, officers-in-charge and retired Postmasters. You will gain additional insight, ideas and career assistance by networking with your fellow NAPUS members.
NAPUS members own outright the NAPUS National Office building in Alexandria, VA. A National Office staff of full-time professionals works to promote the interests of Postmasters and OICs.
NAPUS enjoys strong financial health. The organization maintains a healthy reserve fund balance on members’ behalf. A presidentially appointed Budget Committee, the makeup of which changes every year, but always includes the national secretary-treasurer and one returning member for purposes of continuity, draws up the annual NAPUS budget. The Budget Committee’s recommendations are carefully considered and voted on by the NAPUS National Executive Committee.
Membership in NAPUS is voluntary; we can only be a successful management organization if each current NAPUS member makes it his or her personal responsibility to invite new members to join. Get to know your fellow Postmasters. Ask them why they are not a member. Share with them the benefits of membership by sharing the talking points on our website and those listed above. You were motivated to join – motivate someone else! A 100% membership rate guarantees a stronger voice at pay talks. A 100% membership rate ensures that Congress listen’s to our voice when we talk with them about workplace conditions, pay & benefits, and other legislative agenda items that affect Postmasters of the United States Postal Service.
