Governance
This organization files the short tax form, which does not ask about boards, policies or audits. That is normal for a small charity and is not a mark against it.

Programs described in its return (2)
- State Meetings are to inform and answer questions to 2,084 rural carrier members of whom want to attend. All eight district meetings have our district representatives inform us on changes and answer all questions to help us succeed. Both our district and national representatives attend our state convention with information we need. We also have guest speakers from management safety and many others who work with rural carriers. Members have the ability to make and vote on constitution changes and resolutions with state and national. Members get to vote for our state board at the convention and vote for national delegates by mail which are both counted and results are read by the committee chairperson.
- Oklahoma Rural Carrier newsletter is mailed every other month to every member. Important information dates and reminders are in each issue; from district representative retirement health insurance national general insurance legislation phone numbers and calendar of events.
