Cooper said educational programs

City postmaster
set for transfer

High Point Postmaster Enola
Mixon heads for northern Virginia
this month for a new job with the
U.S. Postal Service.
Mixon's last day in the High Point
office will be May 17. She has been
appointed field director of human
services for the U.S. Postal Service in
northern Virginia. The office is located in Maryfield, Va.
After having
served as the
local postmaster
for seven years
and having
worked at the
Greensboro office
prior to that,
Mixon admits she
has mixed feelings about leaving
the Triad.
"We've done a
lot of things over
here," she said. "We've got good
employees, and the community is just
great. I hate to leave that."
The position she is moving into is
what she refers to as a staff job which
is considered an executive position
with more responsibility than her
current job.
"It's something I wanted to do,"
she said.
She had to apply for the position
and go through a screening process.
Then, she had to wait until a job
came open in Virginia, Tennessee or
North Carolina, her three states of
choice.
In looking back over her years
directing services at the main office,
three branches and the Archdale
office, Mixon said she is very proud of
many of the programs that have been
put into place. Those include the
carrier alert program, the "quarter-back" offer to encourage carriers
to deliver mail properly and a program Mixon started with post office
box patrons to improve service.
Post office workers also have
participated in softball tournaments
to raise money for muscular dystrophy and joined the Adopt-A-Highway
effort to clean a portion of N. Main
Street.
Mixon said her job has grown since
coming to High Point.
"Our mail volume has doubled
since I've been here," she said. "I
look at what we're doing on a daily
basis, and we're doing an excellent
job. Our association with the Chambers of Commerce in both Archdale
and High Point has been excellent."
Last year, her peers in a professional association of postmasters
selected Mixon as Postmaster of the
Year from among the region's 203
offices.
A successor to Mixon has not been
chosen. She anticipates an acting
postmaster will be appointed until
the position can be filled porman
