WASHINGTON — The U.S. Postal Service today announced the appointment of Susana Rodriguez de Tembleque, a technology executive and creative director, to the Citizens’ Stamp Advisory Committee, or CSAC.

Members are appointed by the postmaster general to provide expertise in business, history, science, technology, art, education, sports and other areas of public interest. Working together, they make recommendations for future stamp subjects.

Originally from Madrid, Rodriguez de Tembleque is based in New York City. She is the mother of four children, ages 19 to 25.
