The Postal Service Board of Governors is the governing body of the U.S. Postal Service. The nine Governors are appointed by the President with the advice and consent of the Senate. They, in turn, select the Postmaster General and those 10 select the Deputy Postmaster General. The Postmaster General and Deputy Postmaster General are also members of the Board.
The U.S. Postal Service Board of Governors directs and controls the expenditures of the Postal Service, reviews its practices and policies, and establishes basic objectives and long range goals consistent with the provisions of the Postal Reorganization Act.
