Annual Report 2001 |
|
the BOARD of GOVERNORS |
|
The Postal Service Board of Governors is composed of 11 individuals, nine of them appointed by the President of the United States, with the advice and consent of the U.S. Senate. In turn, the Governors select the Postmaster General and, along with the Postmaster General, select the Deputy Postmaster General, both of whom also serve on the Board. |
|
The Board of Governors is comparable to the Board of Directors of a publicly owned corporation. The Board directs and controls the expenditures of the Postal Service, joins in long-range planning and reviews the practices and policies of the Postal Service. Many of these activities are coordinated through the various committees of the Board. |
