WASHINGTON, DC \u2014 3\/27\/25 – Robert M. \u201cMike\u201d 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.

\u201cMy fellow governors and I are grateful to Mike Duncan for his service to this Board and to the Postal Service,\u201d said Amber McReynolds, chairwoman. \u201cIn 2018, Mike was tasked with reestablishing the Board\u2019s 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 organization.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cMike Duncan\u2019s business and political acumen was a great asset to the Postal Service during a period of historic transformation,\u201d said acting Postmaster General Doug Tulino. \u201cHe 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.\u201d<\/p>\n

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.
