The National Auxiliary to the United Postmasters and Managers of America (UPMA) was established with the common goal to help the Postmasters, Managers, and Supervisors.  The Auxiliary supports, promotes, and protects their concerns while providing their spouse, family, and/or friends with an organization of friendship and fellowship.  Sharing concerns, building good public relations for the Postal Service, generating new ideas, and having fun together all make our work more interesting, worthwhile, and rewarding.

Membership in the Auxiliary consists of UPMA Members or family of UPMA, including spouses, sons, daughters, fathers, mothers, or grandchildren.  Affiliate Members are any persons supportive of the UPMA,  including in-laws, nieces, nephews, employees of  USPS and their family members, and special friends of UPMA.  BRATS are auxiliary members between the ages of 6 and 21.  BRATS stands for “Bringing Real Attributes to Society.”  

The support of the UPMA Auxiliary and your State Chapter Auxiliary to UPMA is invaluable.  We make the Auxiliary a family-supported UPMA organization!  Postmasters, Managers, and supervisors need all the support they can get on postal concerns.  The Auxiliary members can rally community support, promote postal concerns, and keep in touch with Congressional Representatives on Postal issues. 

Behind the scenes, the Auxiliary ensures that UPMA functions run smoothly and that everyone has a good time.  Your Chapter may host the hospitality room at your annual State Convention, provide an evening of entertainment, and maybe host a luncheon or picnic supper for the active UPMA and their families.  These activities include putting on skits, planning tours, shopping, or just relaxing together.  Becoming a member of your Auxiliary will teach you about our organization and how we UPMA.  Most importantly, you will make new friends and be sharing great fun and fellowship. 

Membership dues are $10 /year for primary Members and $5 for each additional family member. If you would like more information, you can contact a National Auxiliary Board Member at upmaauxiliary@gmail.com.  We will be glad to answer your questions.
