Silven Zimmerman Sworn in as Postmaster of Alhambra

On Friday, February 24, 2023, at 11:00 am, Silven Zimmerman followed a proud tradition dating back to when Benjamin Franklin was the first Postmaster General of the United States.

In his 23rd year as a Postal employee, Zimmerman raised his right hand to take the official Oath of Office as the Postmaster of the Alhambra Post Office at a ceremony at the Alhambra Post Office, 10 W Bay State St., Alhambra, CA 91802. Post Office Operations Manage Jolene Fischer administered the oath.

Zimmerman began his postal career in 2000 as a city carrier in Tampa, FL.

He went on to serve additional assignments as a Financial Specialist and as a member of the Gulf Atlantic Hurricane Relief Team.

His most recent role was as Manager of Customer Service in St. Petersburg, FL before his promotion as the Postmaster of Alhambra Post Office in November 2022.

As outlined in the USPS Delivering for America plan, the postal service is committed to modernizing and continually adapting to the evolving needs of all customers. As the Postmaster of the Alhambra Post Office, Zimmerman is prepared to serve his community with that development in mind.

“To me the title of Postmaster is an honor. Being a Postmaster gives me the opportunity of being a committed leader to my postal team but more importantly being committed to the community of Alhambra, California,” said Zimmerman.

“It is my goal to build trust within the community of the Alhambra Postal Service by providing excellent customer service both in the office and the neighborhoods in which we serve.”
