Collection description
Enola Mixon had a long career with the United States Postal Service. She was the first woman in the country to serve as a director of employee and labor relations at the Greensboro post office. Between 1984 and 1991 she served as the first female acting postmaster in Burlington and Winston-Salem. She was named Greensboro's first female postmaster in 1992. She retired from the Postal Service in June 2004. Mixon was awarded the Dorothy Sharple Lifetime Achievement Award by the United States Postal Service for her community service, and her efforts in the post office toward increasing diversity within the postal system. Throughout her career in Greensboro, and elsewhere, she was actively involved in community service work.
