Paul Desmond -
Executive Vice President

Paul assumed the role of Executive Vice President of Branch 25 in January 2011. Prior to becoming Executive Vice President, Paul had served for eleven years as Vice President. He began his tenure as an officer of Branch 25 in the early 1990's, serving two terms as Sergeant at Arms. Paul began his postal career in January of 1988 as a PTF letter carrier in Winchester. In 1993, he became the Shop Steward for the Winchester office and shortly thereafter he became an Area Representative for Branch 25, meeting on grievances in several offices at the then Step 2 level. In 2000, then President of Branch 25 Randy Keller recognized Paul's talents and sent him to Cornell University to attend an arbitration advocacy program. Paul has been a Local Business Agent for Region 14 since then, and has presented cases at arbitration throughout all of the New England Region.

Prior to any of the Alternative Route Adjustment Programs, Paul was one of only 11 NALC representatives to serve on a task force that would lead to the creation of the first "Interim Alternative Route Adjustment Process." When the Joint Alternative Route Adjustment Process was implemented, Paul was selected to serve as a District Evaluation and Adjustment Team Member. Paul believes that Branch 25 is well prepared to take on the ever-changing environment in the Postal Service with a well-informed membership, and a well-trained core of stewards and officers.
