HONOLULU — Fred Workman was recently appointed as the Postmaster for the Guam Post Office. His first official day on the job was Apr. 24. He replaces Paul Elinburg, who retired.
As Guam Postmaster, Workman supervises 106 U.S. Postal Service employees and the daily processing and distribution of mail to 25,000 PO Boxes and to more than 19,000 addresses on 23 delivery routes.
Workman is a 32–year Postal Service employee who had most recently served as the Postmaster at the Houlton (Maine) Post Office. He began his postal career as a clerk in Kenosha, WI.
“I’m very excited about the opportunity and the challenges that this position presents,” said Workman. “My goals are to provide the best possible service to my customers, to ensure the security of the mail and to improve the image of the Postal Service in Guam. I would like to thank Honolulu District Manager Daryl Ishizaki and my immediate supervisor Jodi Nascimento for giving me their votes of confidence in naming me to this position.”
Workman was born in Pennsylvania and raised and educated in Kenosha. He has five children. He was a part–time professional musician for 25 years, and his hobbies include golf, fishing, hiking, and cycling. While on Guam, Workman plans to continue his long-time service to the Salvation Army and to be active in other service, church and fraternal organizations.

A self-supporting government enterprise, the U.S. Postal Service is the only delivery service that reaches every address in the nation, 150 million residences, businesses and Post Office Boxes. The Postal Service receives no direct support from taxpayers. With 36,000 retail locations and the most frequently visited website in the federal government, the Postal Service relies on the sale of postage, products and services to pay for operating expenses. Named the Most Trusted Government Agency five consecutive years and the sixth Most Trusted Business in the nation by the Ponemon Institute, the Postal Service has annual revenue of more than $68 billion and delivers nearly half the world’s mail. If it were a private sector company, the U.S. Postal Service would rank 28th in the 2009 Fortune 500.
