Greetings from the Desk of the President.

From the Desk of Dominick

As we close out another successful year for the NC Chapter of NAPUS, I need to share some pertinent information. It has come to my attention that another postmaster group has resorted to some unconventional recruiting tactics. Specifically, some new members have informed us that they were told some very bold untruths concerning our organization. Rather than get in to a name-calling concerning these desperate attempts to recruit, NAPUS will once again take the high road and simply place in print the facts as to why NAPUS is the organization that offers the most to its members.

First and foremost, each member of NAPUS has a voice and vote in all matters that affect their organization.

NAPUS has the strongest Legal Defense fund and employs its own attorney to represent you if the need occurs for representation in Adverse Action.

Our Postmaster Representative committee has professionally trained postmasters throughout the country to assist fellow postmasters with advice and guidance and is chaired by none other than Sheila Hunter who lives in Cary NC.

NAPUS is the only management group that employees a full time Legislative Director of Government Relations. Bob Levi is well respected by both the House and Senate and often asked to assist in legislative matters that affect the Postal Service and Postmasters.

NAPUS is the most Financially sound postmaster group with more than $2.9 million in assets. And your North Carolina Chapter has more than $100,000.00 in assets.

In addition, NC NAPUS offers a Scholarship opportunity for graduating High School seniors of its members.

Nationally, NAPUS currently represents almost 75% of all active postmasters and enjoys a commanding lead in membership with 39,975 members.

NAPUS has its own Credit Union with over $200 million in assets and offers most competitive rates and benefits.

And what about training! Not only is there the National and State convention training opportunities, but NC NAPUS offers workshops during the year throughout the entire state.

I challenge any other postmaster organization to release its Financial and Membership
Statistics! It should be no secret who we are and what we stand for: Postmasters helping postmasters and doing it with pride, integrity, strength in numbers and the assets to support our efforts.

These are just a few of the FACTS and the choice is yours. If I had my wish list, we wouldn’t have to make a choice. But the fact remains that we must choose. So if you want to be part of a winning team, we look forward to welcoming you and having you join our family. JOIN today and begin enjoying these and the many other benefits that will help you be successful.

In closing, I thank each of you for your help and support throughout the past two years as your president. I look forward to serving you at the National Level as your National Vice-President and pledge my complete support to incoming President Drew.

On a personal note, most are aware I was promoted to postmaster of Newport NC 28570. It was a difficult decision to apply for Newport, but after fifteen years on the beach, it was time for a change. I started my career in Newport in 1981 and have resided in the community since 1975. I am coming full circle and am excited about this new adventure.

Again thank you for all your help and support and wishing you all the best. As the job continues to be more and more difficult, membership in NAPUS is more valuable than words can explain. It has helped me keep the fun in my job!

Joint NAPUS/LEAGUE Task Force

The Greensboro District is forming a joint management organization task force. With the support of District Manager and Lead Executive Mr. Henry Dix, both NAPUS and the League are recruiting members to serve on this special team. Volunteers will serve within close proximity of their current duty assignment with all travel held to a minimum.

Primary area of review will be Operational Integrity. Facilities that have a need for assistance will be able to contact either NC Chapter President to request a review. Team members may also be sent to perform a review at the request of Mr. Dix or either president, but all reviews will be jointly assigned.

The purpose in forming this team is to be proactive and in SUPPORT of postmasters and those serving as an Officer-in-Charge. It is intended to assist them in any capacity that would help them meet their operational objectives. This is not a “gotcha” or data gathering exploration that is to be used for corrective action, but rather just the opposite. It is an effort to prevent corrective action from occurring due to noncompliance. It may even help put some fun back in our job

Findings are to be kept confidential unless they are so blatant as to compromise the health, safety or fudiciary responsibility. Even then they will be treated at the lowest level in an effort to correct such matters.

The formation of this initiative was at the request of the postmaster organizational presidents and again, is intended for the sole purpose of assisting fellow postmasters.

If you are interested in serving on this team, and would like to volunteer for consideration please contact either the NC NAPUS or NC League President. All participants will serve on a “no loss no gain” principle and duration is yet to be determined.
