Brian's Scoop

The title of my August 2013 article in The Postal Supervisor magazine is "Motivating Membership".
Did you have psychic powers that enabled you to know what was in the article before it came out? Here's the scoop.
Since July 1st, the number of 1187's received have skyrocketed in volume. To put it bluntly, Jovan, our membership coordinator, was shocked to see the number of 1187's received-approximately 165. These are great numbers for one month and our membership has done an outstanding job getting newly promoted supervisors to join NAPS. NAPS HQ encourages you to stay motivated and keep the monthly momentum going.
That brings me to my August Postal Supervisor article. When you read it you will know that NAPS has initiated a new membership drive not only to get more members actively involved by promoting membership, but entire branches.
By the number of 1187's received in July, you didn't need a new NAPS membership initiative to motivate you to increase membership; just your desire to give back to NAPS.
Well, we have already published our membership initiative but here is a little hint about our new initiative.
Starting June 1, 2013 through May 31, 2014, NAPS will randomly draw the name of a NAPS member who sponsored a new member during that particular month. The monthly winning sponsor will receive a $25 PNC Visa/NAPS gift card. This is in addition to the regular $25 gift card the sponsor receives for signing up a new member. Our June winner was sponsor Sharon Guydon of Branch 80, Oklahoma City.
Be advised, we will start each month new; there will be no rollover 1187s. However, there is no limit on the number of times you can win the monthly drawing. The goal is to keep you motivated in signing up new members until the end of May 2014.
In addition, NAPS will take all the 1187s received during the contest period and conduct a Grand Prize drawing for a lucky sponsor. Not only does the Grand Prize winner win big, so does their branch.
Want to know what the winners get? Well, get motivated and read your Postal Supervisor magazine.
It will not be necessary for me to give you a hint about my ice cream flavor of the week recommendation, it is -- Kahlua Fudge Brownie.
