COPA 2008 - REVIEW

 

     The National APWU has released the final figures from the 2008 COPA campaign.  It should come as no surprise that the Lehigh Valley Area Local was, once again, at the front of the pack.  The LV Local ranked #1 in the country for locals with 500 - 999 members, #1 among all locals in the state of Pennsylvania, and #5 among all locals in the country (despite being much smaller than the top four locals). 

 

   The Lehigh Valley Area Local was among 11 Pennsylvania locals who met, or exceeded, their 2008 COPA goals.  Of the 646 members in the LV Local, 257 (38%) participated in the COPA drive.  Although the state of Pennsylvania fell short of its overall goal, the locals within the state contributed a total of $62,027 in 2008 which placed the state #2 in the nation.
