Membership is open to all current EAS and craft employees, as well as retired postal employees and non-postal employees, regardless of race, sex, or physical disability. Individuals must support aims and goals of the organization.
Reasons to join A-PLUS include the following: nationwide networking, experienced mentors, professional training, support, resources, cohesive voice, common bond, developmental opportunities, commitment to excellence, and community involvement.
A-PLUS members are afforded the opportunity to attend our annual national convention and any of several regional conferences. The national convention and regional conferences are paid events but they are well worth it! Our conferences and convention allow you to get close to and network with executives and managers at every level of the U S Postal Service and private industry. Many chapters offer monthly training and subject matter experts as speakers. A-PLUS offers a network that is nationwide. We feature successful managers as mentors and coaches from inside and outside the postal service allowing you to broaden your skill sets. Of course we provide a national magazine, regional news magazines, a national website and Facebook page, and support and access to postal leadership.
