USPS Governor Mike Duncan “played a big role in efforts to create long-term sustainability”
Robert M. “Mike” Duncan, one of the Governors of the United States Postal Service, today announced that he is resigning his position on the board of governors due to health reasons.
His resignation is effective immediately. Duncan has served on the board since August 2018 and was chairman from September 2018 to February 2021. Duncan’s current term on the board was set to expire this December. A copy of his letter of resignation can be found here.
“My fellow governors and I are grateful to Mike Duncan for his service to this Board and to the Postal Service,” said Amber McReynolds, chairwoman. “In 2018, Mike was tasked with re-establishing the Board’s governance and operations after it had gone more than a year without any presidentially appointed governors. His leadership and vision for the Postal Service have played a big role in our efforts to create long-term sustainability for this critical organisation.”
“Mike Duncan’s business and political acumen was a great asset to the Postal Service during a period of historic transformation,” said acting Postmaster General Doug Tulino. “He has been an important leader for the Board, and Postal Service leadership is happy to have had his counsel and insights during this critical time.”
The Board of Governors of the U.S. Postal Service consists of nine governors appointed by the President of the United States with the advice and consent of the Senate, the Postmaster General and the Deputy Postmaster General. The governors select the Postmaster General, and those ten members of the Board select the Deputy Postmaster General.
