Background:

As Postmaster, Williams has overall responsibility for the employees who provide outstanding delivery, Post Office Box, and retail service at the Abbeville and Shorterville Post Offices. Friendly retail associates greet customers who are mailing or shipping items and smiling carriers deliver mail and packages to 3,759 residences and businesses six, and sometimes seven, days a week.

During his 10-year career, Williams has observed many changes in the Postal Service. About two years ago, the Postal Service published an ambitious, but achievable, 10-year strategic plan, Delivering for America. The plan established a path to building a Postal Service that is financially strong and consistently delivers on-time for the American public.

The United States Postal Service is an independent federal establishment, mandated to be self-financing and to serve every American community through the affordable, reliable and secure delivery of mail and packages to 169 million addresses six and often seven days a week. Overseen by a bipartisan Board of Governors, the Postal Service is implementing a 10-year transformation plan, Delivering for America, to modernize the postal network, restore long-term financial sustainability, dramatically improve service across all mail and shipping categories, and maintain the organization as one of America’s most valued and trusted brands.

The Postal Service generally receives no tax dollars for operating expenses and relies on the sale of postage, products and services to fund its operations.
