I can say that RPA is doing an astounding amount of stuff with a *very* limited amount of staff, frankly less staff than is really desirable.  Jim Mathews is busy responding to emails from *Congress* and the *state governments* all day long -- which is very good, it means we have a lot more influence than we did when Ross was running it!  But it does mean it can take longer to get a response to a member email.  I don't think we're quite organized well enough that it's clear which other person to write to for some queries which shouldn't really be going to Jim, which is also a problem.


A lot of time, money, and work went into making the NARP/RPA website fully functional (which it was not under Ross) which has also reaped huge benefits, though perhaps more among younger people than older. I'll be honest: to me NARP didn't look real or relevant when I first joined, due to the ineffective web presence. It does now.


I will say everyone's been having trouble with the Post Office. :-( It's generally blamed on Postmaster General DeJoy, who is documented to have illegal conflicts of interest (makes money from competing parcel delivery companies, etc.), who will probably be ousted in the next few months.
