USPS BOG Board of Governors
Every so often I’m going to post about an organization that you may have heard of, but might not know exactly what they do, and how it directly affects mailers.
Let’s take a look at the USPS BOG, Board of Governors:
From the usps.com website-
The Board of Governors of the U.S. Postal Service is comparable to a board of directors of a private corporation. The Board includes nine Governors who are appointed by the President with the advice and consent of the Senate.
The nine Governors select the Postmaster General, who becomes a member of the Board, and those 10 select the Deputy Postmaster General, who also serves on the Board. The Postmaster General serves at the pleasure of the Governors for an indefinite term. The Deputy Postmaster General serves at the pleasure of the Governors and the Postmaster General.
And
The Board directs the exercise of the powers of the Postal Service, directs and controls its expenditures, reviews its practices, conducts long-range planning, and sets policies on all postal matters. The Board takes up matters such as service standards, capital investments and facilities projects exceeding $25 million. It also approves officer compensation.
