Each fall, the Postal Service™ joins other federal agencies in the Combined Federal Campaign (CFC) drive. In accordance with Office of Personnel Management (OPM) regulations, the campaign runs during the fall, beginning on or after September 1 and ending by December 15, 2016, as established by the Local Federal Coordinating Committee.
Vice presidents of Area Operations have campaign responsibility. Area offices must ensure that campaign information is disseminated to all offices under their jurisdiction.
