Executive Board,

The Executive Board at its recent Fall meeting voted to sunset the NAPS Forum on the NAPS website for the reasons outlined below. Because the Fall Board meeting minutes will not be published until the January 2017 issue of The Postal Supervisor, please forward this Board Memo to your members to provide notice of the Forum’s closure, effective November 1.

The Board voted to sunset the Forum for several reasons:

To protect the NAPS organization and its members from liability related to inappropriate and slanderous posts on the Forum.

Numerous Forum topics/posts did little to advance or promote the welfare of the NAPS organization; some, in fact, contributed to misunderstanding or represented bullying towards other members.

The NAPS constitution and bylaws envision the resolution of member questions, issues and concerns through their respective branch, state, Area and Regional officers, rather than a public forum.

Effective November 7, NAPS established a new Bulletin Board on the NAPS website for sharing information. Members may go to www.naps.org and, under the Members Section, click on the Bulletin Board link where they will find NAPS HQ correspondence and mail received, board memos, NAPS/USPS consultative minutes and other information.

In addition, NAPS members are encouraged to send questions, concerns and issues to NAPS HQ at [email protected] to be addressed or forwarded to the member’s respective NAPS Regional or Area VP.

Thank you for sharing this Board Memo.
