SIOUX FALLS, IA — Lisse Garrett has been appointed the District Manager of the Iowa/Nebraska/South Dakota District, making her the first woman to hold that position for the district.

As District Manager, Garrett oversees a workforce of more than 10,000 employees working at 1,600 Post Offices and stations. The district provides service to more than 2.5 million delivery points through nearly 5,200 delivery routes.

“I’m looking forward to implementing the groundwork of the Postal Service’s Delivering for America 10-year plan here in our district,” Garrett said.

Garrett began her career as a clerk in Chandler, TX. She has held numerous leadership positions throughout the country, including Postmaster; Post Office Operations Manager; Manager of Operations Program Support; Manager, Delivery Programs Support; and District Manager in Georgia, ATL.

“This is a great opportunity to build relationships. With a solid foundation, we’re expecting great things and look forward to continued success,” Garrett added.

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.
