WINSTON-SALEM, NC — In Winston-Salem, someone new is running the Post Office.
Toni Gorman, a postal employee of 25+ years, was recently named new Postmaster of Winston-Salem. She replaces David Barcio, who retired earlier this year.
Gorman began her postal career in 1986 as a rural letter carrier in Kernersville. Before long, she began her ascent into the postal managerial ranks, serving as customer services supervisor in High Point, manager, C/S in Waughtown Station in Winston-Salem, Offier-in-Charge in Oak Ridge, Postmaster of Brown Summit, Postmaster, Roanoke Rapids and Postmaster of Chapel Hill. She worked most of the year as the Winston-Salem Acting Postmaster before officially becoming Postmaster just recently.
“I want to make clear to the citizens of Winston-Salem that service is our priority at the Postal Service,” says Gorman. “It’s a critical time in our organization and we plan to keep the mail moving and our presence relevant. We will keep in touch with the community and let them know what is going on.”
In Winston-Salem, the main Post Office is located at 1500 Patterson Avenue, and there are three other delivery stations, two retail-only offices and four Contract Post Offices doing postal business. Within those facilities, Gorman is responsible for 286 employees and 169 carrier routes that deliver more than 190 million pieces of mail annually to more than 122.000 delivery points and 6083 Post Office Boxes. For the actual locations and retail hours of these Post Offices, go to www.usps.com and select “Find USPS Locations.”
Gorman is a native of High Point and now resides in Kernersville with her husband, Jim, a postal manager based in Greensboro.
