As Women’s History month comes to a close, let us not forget the many successful women that have helped to shape the USPS in our own backyard. A person is successful for many reasons. Success to most is the realization and obtainment of a worthy ideal or result. With that, let’s meet the successful women.
Women like retired IS Manager, Karen Keller. Karen dedicated more than 30 years to the USPS and when she was not working she was volunteering her time and energy to helping others. The obligation she has to people certainly helped while in the employment of the postal service where she truly worked to provide excellent customer service. (Customer’s still ask, where’s Karen?)
Glenda Howard, Lead Clerk at Evans, GA post office—Glenda recently retired after 34 years of service. The employees and customers of the Evans office already miss her positive attitude and the “songs” she was always singing. Positivity breeds positivity—and Glenda is certainly a positive person.
Being positive certainly goes a long way, but so does communication. The North, South and Suncoast Districts- Manager, EEO Dispute Resolution , Nancy Falanga was recently praised by her staff. Ms. Falanga possesses great leadership and communication skills. She has a superb team of people who appreciate her leadership qualities. She is definitely an asset to the United States Postal Service EEO Department. Ms. Falanga has more than 25 years of service!
Amazing women are everywhere in the postal service, take for instance Jo Ann Feindt. Ms. Feindt is the Southern Area Vice President. Her dedication to quality can be seen a mile away. She is responsible for all postal operations including mail processing and distribution, customer service and administrative operations in Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Louisiana, Mississippi, Oklahoma, Texas and portions of Georgia and South Carolina. Ms. Feindt is a 33-year postal veteran.
But what about our lady Letter Carriers? The first recorded female letter carrier was on April 3, 1845. And in the early 1900’s job announcements said, “Only Single Women Need Apply.” Times have certainly changed. Women are holding all types of positions and guess what, they have families at home!
Many of our employees work for years without recognition, but it doesn’t mean they aren’t successful or important to the organization. That’s why it is so vital to acknowledge employees and co-workers at all levels.
Do you know of a significant achievement or initiative that one of our employees are involved with? If so, make contact with the North Florida District Blog via www.nflnewsmakers.blogspot.com. We are always interested in letting others know what’s happening in our local post offices and surroundings.
All contributions came from staff or co-workers.
