National Convention
Greetings A-PLUS Members and Friends,
The A-PLUS National Executive Board is delighted to invite you to the 39th Annual A-PLUS National Convention, taking place on the beautiful island of Puerto Rico! Join us at the Embassy Suites Dorado del Mar Beach Resort in Dorado, Puerto Rico, May 5–7, 2026 (travel dates May 4 and 8).
Hosted by the Northeast Region, Convention Chair Lou Curry, Regional President Lyvette Washington, and the entire convention committee are working diligently to prepare an unforgettable experience for you whether you are new in your careers, a seasoned manager or retiree.
This year’s theme—IMPACT: Igniting Minds, Propelling Advancement, Challenging Tomorrow—captures the spirit of what A-PLUS represents. Our annual signature event is your opportunity to elevate both your professional and personal journey. Connect with members from across the country, share expertise, and expand your network.
Ignite your mind through sessions led by Subject Matter Experts, USPS Managers and Executives, Sponsors, and Inspirational Speakers. Strengthen your career trajectory with the Spotlight on You session, Focus40 initiative, and other powerful learning opportunities. We are also excited to welcome the incomparable Greg Gray, who will challenge and inspire us to build a better tomorrow. Take advantage of some of the special incentives offered by National Sponsors, Blue Cross Blue Shield FEP, PostalBlueBookHelp and B&W Insurance Group.
Don’t miss this chance to gather for our annual meeting to conduct the business of A-PLUS as we continue to develop the leaders of tomorrow for the Postal Service and A-PLUS. Additionally, we will recognize some of our outstanding members and chapters for their contributions and achievements. Congratulations to Mr. Howard Patterson, the 2026 recipient of the LeGree S. Daniels Heritage Award! We will confer the highest honor bestowed by A-PLUS to Mr. Patterson at our banquet on the final night of the convention.
