Hello Western Region Membership!

I would like to thank the Western Region for an awesome 37th annual A-PLUS convention in Las Vegas, Nevada. The turnout was amazing and the cohesiveness and interconnectedness was a buoyed fleeting moment. The whole event was great however time waits for no one. It’s already time for the 38th annual A-PLUS convention in Hanover Maryland. Time to stand out while standing strong for our organization.

Time for the Western Region to meet the challenges of our region to stand strong on commitment, the mission of our organization and each one reach one. Times are changing therefore we must move forward and continue to work together to achieve the goals, objectives and mission of our organization and the United States Postal Service. Thirty-eight years is a milestone that cannot be ignored. We continue to train, build and support Postal Employees to advance in their postal careers. The more you prepare the more equipped you become.
