Welcome
Welcome to Boston and the 73rd Biennial Convention of the National Association of Letter Carriers. The decisions we make this week will have far-reaching effects on our efforts to preserve our employer and our jobs, not to mention the letter carrier way of life we have worked so hard to create for ourselves and our families. Over the next few days, we will participate in setting the NALC’s programs and policies for the next two years. We come together ready to rise to the challenges set before us. We do so drawing upon the sense of tradition passed down through the generations, the sol- idarity of membership in one of the oldest and largest labor unions in America, and the inno- vation that helps our craft remain relevant and indispensable. We will also attend informative and educational workshops and informally discuss how to meet the challenges we face. A warm welcome also goes out to the NALC Auxiliary, concurrently holding its 58th conven- tion in support of the NALC and its members. This Pocket Guide will help you navigate your way through the convention during the next week. It contains a schedule of events for both the NALC and the Auxiliary, brief descriptions of the workshops, and useful information ranging from emergency medical contacts to transpor- tation tips that will help make your stay in and around Boston more enjoyable. Put it in your pocket and refer to it often. Again, a hearty welcome to Boston to all del- egates attending the NALC’s 73rd Biennial Convention. Grow. Rise. Together.
