Building the Bench, By Bobby Bock, NAPS Southeast Area Vice President ➡️ What are we doing to build a bench? That question applies not only to the Postal Service, but also to NAPS. Developing the next generation of leaders is not optional — it is essential.

With over 36 years in management, I have made it a priority to create opportunities for employees seeking upward mobility. Sometimes, the most effective actions are the simplest.

Authoring a Vision and Strategic Plan for NAPS, By Richard Green, NAPS Eastern Region Vice President ➡️ The future of NAPS is bright, but it is not without challenges. To continue gr💡owing and remaining relevant, we must do more than just manage the present — we must actively shape the future. To thrive, NAPS must continue advocating fiercely for our members while simultaneously evolving to meet their changing needs.

We must become proactive catalysts of change, helping to transform the Postal Service into the ideal organization we know it can be. Simultaneously, we must prepare our members to lead both in this new workplace and in NAPS itself.

Public Service: Impacting Everyone, Every Day, Everywhere, By Bob Levi, NAPS Director of Legislative & Political Affairs ➡️ Ever since I came to Capitol Hill in 1983, the persistent postal refrain has been the Postal Services is self-sufficient — not reliant on tax dollars. This self-perpetuating myth "mostly" is true. However, it was never "absolutely" true.

The legislative history and text of the Postal Reorganization Act of 1970 proves this. Accepting, processing and delivering mail for everyone, everywhere, every day, requires more resources than postage stamps alone can provide. This is the reason a "public service appropriation" is embedded in postal law — 39 USC 2401(b) — that was enacted 56 years ago.

Grassroots Engagement Is Paramount, By Jimmy Warden, NAPS Secretary/Treasurer ➡️ In my past columns, I have written about NAPS branches' financial duties and responsibilities. I have strongly recommended that a branch treasurer check their local and state tax laws as they differ from state to state.

The IRS has changed reporting requirements for federal tax returns pertaining to Form 1099 from income of $600 or more to $2,000 or more. This change is in effect for 2026. If you are filing a Form 1099 for your 2025 taxes, you still are required to report income of $600 or more.

NAPS Membership Has Its Benefits, By Chuck Mulidore, NAPS Executive Vice President ➡️ One of the many great benefits of your NAPS membership is the NAPS Disciplinary Defense Fund (DDF) that represents working members, as well as retired members who were in good standing at the time of their retirement. This is found in Article 9 of the Bylaws portion of the NAPS Constitution & Bylaws:

"Section 1. NAPS is committed to representing its membership in all areas, including adverse action. The Disciplinary Defense Fund (DDF) was established by the membership, for the membership, to provide representation for NAPS members in appealing adverse actions, RIFs and debt collection actions taken against them."

Dignity and Respect Are More Than Just 'Words' By Ivan D. Butts, NAPS National President ➡️ When USPS employees witness supervisors being openly harassed or demoralized by higher-level management, the impact can be especially significant given the structured, hierarchical nature of the Postal Service. First, this disrespect undermines the chain of command. USPS operations rely heavily on clear authority and accountability.
