Iniguez to lead national energy management strategies
Daley to act as Pacific Area Vice President

Deputy Postmaster General Pat Donahoe has announced that Al Iniguez will take on the critical role of leading the Postal Service in developing and implementing national strategies to help manage our rapidly escalating energy costs.

“Sharp growth in fuel costs — both for our vehicles and for our facilities — was a key driver of our recent filing for a rate adjustment in 2007,” said Donahoe. “We owe it to our customers to make every effort to control our spending for energy.”

Donahoe said Iniguez’s extensive operational experience — both in his current assignment as Pacific Area Vice President and previously as district manager and senior plant manager — provide an excellent background for the new role. Effective immediately, Iniguez will work closely with Operations, Facilities and Supply Management to pursue a multi-faceted approach to our challenges.

A 32-year postal veteran, Iniguez will continue to report to the Deputy Postmaster General and Chief Operating Officer.

Northland District Manager Michael Daley will act as Pacific Area Vice President, overseeing postal operations for California, Hawaii, Guam, American Samoa and the trust territories.

Daley, a 34-year postal veteran, has led the Northland Performance Cluster — one of the nation’s largest — since 2002.

Before being named to his current position, he served as Postmaster of Portland, OR. His other postal positions have included director of City Operations, Field Operations, and Human Resources in the former Portland Field Division. Daley received the Postmaster General’s Award in 2005.
