Welcome to the Eastern Region A-PLUS Page!
Thank you to all members of the Eastern Region for your continued support during 2025. We’re now in the fourth quarter of the USPS fiscal year and the third quarter of the calendar year and we welcome the seasonal changes around us. The weather is beginning to cool, the foliage is changing color, and postal facilities continue to evolve to better process, distribute and deliver mail.
Even with these changes, chapters and members of the A-PLUS Eastern Region remain committed to helping each other adapt and thrive. One of the many benefits of membership is access to a network of support for members seeking personal and professional development, especially while pursuit of upward mobility.
I encourage each of you to actively participate in your local chapter meetings. At chapter meetings, you can build your support network, find a mentor, share ideas, and also offer guidance and support to others because we all have valuable experiences to share.
If you have 10 or more years remaining in your career, consider “Focus_40.” This visionary program, conceived by National President Debra Clayton, and under the leadership of Executive Vice President Brenda Blue, will connect aspiring leaders with experienced postal managers for targeted training, coaching and mentorship.
Once again, thank you for your trust in me as your A-PLUS Eastern Region President. May you be blessed with good health, peace of mind, minimal stress, and all of the desires of your heart in your personal and professional lives.
Looking forward to seeing you at an A-PLUS meeting near you.
With A-PLUS love,
Cynthia Coles
President, A-PLUS Eastern Region
