2024 UPMA Legislative Summit

Why attend? When do you get an opportunity to network, visit your Congressional leaders, voice your concerns, learn more about the history of the US, visit free museums, and speak with USPS Executives?

This by far was the best year I have experienced in attending the UPMA Legislative Summit.

California UPMA Active/ Retired … Get on board! Make your voice heard.

California has more Congressional Districts than any other State in the US. Our Congressional leaders need to hear from You.

Strength in Numbers for California!
