71st NALC Biennial Convention in Detroit Held
The 71st biennial NALC National Convention was held during the week of July 15-20. Eighteen delegates from Branch 258 have traveled to Detroit where the original NALC Branch (yes, Branch 1) is hosting 6000 of our finest representatives. The week will be busy, as daily general sessions will be coupled with educational seminars to do a broad range of tasks including training, education, agenda-setting, nominating/electing officers, honoring heroes and award winners, taking pause from tragedies, and hearing the messages of many honored guests who will speak to the delegation. Many guest presentations, educational materials, and updates will be made available through national and local websites, and everyone is encouraged to use these resources as an opportunity to stay informed and follow our progress.

2016 Convention Held in Los Angeles
The 70th biennial NALC National Convention has been held in Los Angeles. Sixteen members of Branch 258 were in attendence, as over 5400 delegates from across the nation gathered to do our union's business on the National level. After a festive opening reception and party on Sunday evening, the convention got down to business with daily general sessions from Monday to Friday, which were bookended by educaitonal workshops which spanned the gamut of union activities from duties of union officials, helping CCAs on the path to career appointment, workroom floor issues, safety, political activism, media relations, retirement, benefits, and more. Each delegate will return to the branch with a great deal more expertise and skills training in any number of areas which can support and inform all branch members. In addition, participation in the convention has been an exercise of participating in the processes of democracy, activism, and solidarity of our union brothers and sisters, befitting national President Rolando's theme of "solidarity in action." In addition to the training and business of the national union, the general sessions were also full of presentations by guest speakers, letter carrier media presentations, delegate talks, and connection with carriers from across the country.
