Nationally NAPS is governed by a twenty-four member Executive Board, composed of three officers working full-time at NAPS Headquarters in Washington, DC (and who are on a leave of absence from the Postal Service), and twenty-one officers who are full-time postal supervisors who conduct NAPS' business at nights and on weekends. The Washington office has three "resident" officers:

• president,
• executive vice president, and
• secretary/treasurer.

Field officers include five regional vice presidents and sixteen area vice presidents.

  and 74);
• Central Region: Michiana Area, Illini Area, North Central Area and MINK Area;
• Southern Region: Southeast Area, Central Gulf Area, Cotton Belt Area and Texas Area; and,
• Western Region: Northwest Area, Rocky Mountain Area and Pacific Area.
