New Book is a Tribute for a Woman Pioneer in the Postal Service

Pittsboro, NC (Vocus) August 28, 2010

She was the only woman, as of 2010, who rose from a clerk in the Georgia Southern College Post Office to Deputy Postmaster General in the United States Postal Service. In an inspiring memoir, MS. DEPUTY POSTMASTER GENERAL, author Jackie A. Strange shares with readers her remarkable achievements and how trusted leadership, courage, and innovations impacted the postal service.

Under physical and mental duress, she achieved unprecedented records and saved billions of dollars for the postal service—the largest non-military job in the world with 800,000 employees and a $32 billion (in 1983 dollars) budget—through innovative programs. Because of her achievements, the Australian Post asked her to come to Australia to help hire women managers. The program was so successful that it spread throughout the Australian government.

In this notable memoir, readers will learn and be motivated by her firm principles – those that helped her weather the storms in life and reach her position. Upon her retirement, she received the highest honor, The Benjamin Franklin Award and $10,000 as the Postmaster General’s Award for Excellence. Furthermore, in an unprecedented move, all postal employees and labor leaders celebrated “Jackie A. Strange Day” on her retirement date.

A celebrated tribute of dedication, determination, and hard work, MS. DEPUTY POSTMASTER GENERAL appeals to a wide audience—inspiring managers and employees, business persons, the reading public and those interested in reaching the apex of one’s career.
