RALEIGH, NC – Diane M. Leveque took the oath of office during a ceremony today to mark her installation as Raleigh’s 31st Postmaster.

LeVeque was named Raleigh Postmaster in January and served as the acting Postmaster since August 2021. North Carolina District Manager Russell Gardner administered the oath of office.

“I look forward to continue to serve the growing and diverse communities in Raleigh,” LeVeque said.

She has held numerous roles in her 29 years with the Postal Service, most recently as the manager of customer service operations in Raleigh. She has also served as Postmaster of Ann Arbor, MI; Appleton, WI; Ishpeming, MI; and Munising, MI. Her first position with the Postal Service was as a part-time flexible clerk/carrier in 1993.

LeVeque will continue to focus on initiatives described in the Postal Service’s Delivering for America 10-year plan, including strengthening our workforce and commitment to service excellence. The full plan and one-year progress report can be found on usps.com.

“I’m proud to have a career with an organization that can trace its roots back 250 years, yet we’re still innovating and offering the best products and services in the industry,” LeVeque said. “The Delivering for America plan has allowed us to flourish immediately and positions us to thrive in the future.”

LeVeque graduated summa cum laude from the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay with a Bachelor of Arts in Interdisciplinary Studies, with an emphasis in business and communication. She is currently working on a Master of Arts with the University of St. Thomas.

She is a certified Lean Six Sigma Green Belt and a recipient of the USPS Benjamin Award and the Employer Support of the Guard and Reserve (ESGR) Patriot Award.

The Postal Service generally receives no tax dollars for operating expenses and relies on the sale of postage, products and services to fund its operations.
