Anyone who has been to the Wagner Post Office recently may have seen a new face behind the counter and in the office. As of December 2nd, Wagner has a new postmaster, Callie Strand. This is Callie’s first position as a postmaster, but she comes to the position with a breadth of knowledge and experience. In her most recent position with the post office, she worked as a clerk and did a lot of traveling. With this position, she traveled all over northern Minnesota helping in different offices where needed.

Callie saw and was exposed to many different aspects of the postal service, making her a great candidate to move up to the postmaster level.
