United States Postal Service Board of Governors

The United States Postal Service (USPS) Board of Governors is a group of up to nine members responsible for overseeing the USPS’s operations and strategic direction. They set policies, approve budgets, and ensure the service runs efficiently and financially sustainably. The Board acts somewhat like a board of directors for a corporation, providing governance and oversight, while USPS management handles daily operations. Governors are appointed by the President and confirmed by the Senate, serving staggered terms to help provide continuity and independent oversight for the postal service.
