Hello Western Region Membership!

For those who don’t know me, I am originally from Arizona, where I began my postal career as an LSM clerk in 1984. I was promoted to an EAS Supervisor position at the Phoenix GMF, where I supervised mail processing on the LSM, Automation, and manual operations. I was promoted to a Labor Relations Specialist, and I held this position in both the Oklahoma and Arizona District. Additionally, I have had several detail opportunities as a Manager of Labor relations in the Seattle, Arizona, and Central Pennsylvania Districts, in 2016, I became the Labor Relations Manager of the Capitol District in Washington D.C.

After working 39 years in the Postal Service which included over 25 years in LR/HR departments I retired in 2022 in the District of Columbia, Maryland, Virginia (DMV) area.

I have been an active member of A-PLUS for over 20 years. I have held several positions in the Arizona chapter such as president, treasurer, parliamentarian, and secretary. I love to travel and now that I have retired, I am officially a “snowbird” who migrates between the east /west coast to escape the Phoenix heat. My retirement has given me more time to focus on working with A-PLUS for its continued success.

As we make changes in the Western Region, together we will continue to shine as we grow our membership. Our goals and visions for the Western Region are the same as A-PLUS National – to make an IMPACT in the success of the Postal Service and A-PLUS. With your help, we can develop a new generation of Leaders who will meet the various challenges of a changing Postal Service and organization. By recognizing the relevant needs of our members as they progress though, their careers A-PLUS is a valuable resource for our member’s growth, development and success. Whether it’s providing training and mentorship though career conferences, workshops and ZOOM meetings we will be there for our members.

Thank you, A-PLUS National and Western Region for your support and the opportunity to serve as Western Region President. No matter how large or small, the Western Region will continue to show up and get the job done. I am committed, “Let’s get’er done”!

With gratitude and determination,

Regina Beckhum
Western Region President
