The National Association of Postal Supervisors (NAPS) is a staff association representing people in managerial roles in the United States Postal Service.
The association was founded on September 8, 1908, at a conference in Louisville, Kentucky, as the National Association of Supervisory Post Office Employees. It became NAPS in the early 1920s, and by 1925, it had 5,500 members.[1][2]
In January 1946, the association was chartered by the American Federation of Labor (AFL),[3] and by 1953, its membership had grown to 16,500.[4] However, it resigned from the AFL in 1955, prior to that federation's merger into the AFL-CIO.[5]
As of 2022, the association is based in Alexandria, Virginia, and claims 27,000 members.[6]
