<\/a><\/p>\nI believe strongly that the organization is well positioned and capable of carrying forward and fully implementing the many strategies and initiatives that comprise our transformation and modernization, and I have been working closely with the Deputy Postmaster General to prepare for this transition.<\/p>\n
While our management team and the men and women of the Postal Service have established the path toward financial sustainability and high operating performance \u2013 and we have instituted enormous beneficial change to what had been an adrift and moribund organization \u2013 much work remains that is necessary to sustain our positive trajectory. I am confident that Doug will continue our positive momentum during the period when the Governors undertake the important work of identifying and selecting the next Postmaster General. I also have no doubt that the entirety of the Postal Service will aggressively shape its future and become more efficient, capable, and competitive as it continuously changes and improves to best serve the American public.<\/p>\n
It is with great pride that I pass the baton to Deputy Postmaster General, Doug Tulino, until the Governors name my permanent successor.\u00a0The Governors have hired a search firm in support of those efforts, which are well underway.\u00a0I shall cheer on America\u2019s 76th Postmaster General and the 640,000 men and women of the United States Postal Service who I have called my colleagues and friends for close to five years.\u00a0It has been one of the pleasures of my life and a crowning achievement of my career to have been associated with this cherished institution, the United States Postal Service.\u201d<\/p>\n
United States Postal Service Chair Amber McReynolds<\/p>\n
\u201cLouis DeJoy has steadfastly served the nation and the Postal Service over the past five years,\u201d said Amber McReynolds, chairwoman of the Board of Governors. \u201cThe Governors greatly appreciate his enduring leadership and his tireless efforts to modernize the Postal Service and reverse decades of neglect.\u201d McReynolds added, \u201cLouis is a fighter, and he has fought hard for the women and men of the Postal Service and to ensure that the American people have reliable and affordable service for years to come. I commend Postmaster General DeJoy for inspiring the Postal Service with strategic direction, a competitive spirit, and a culture of achievement that comes from the successful implementation of large-scale change. I have seen this spirit of purpose grow steadily during my time on the Board of Governors, and I am confident it will continue to grow as progress begets further progress, and the promise of a transformed and modernized Postal Service is fully realized.\u201d<\/p>\n

The United States Postal Service is an independent federal establishment, mandated to be self-financing and to serve every American community through the affordable, reliable and secure delivery of mail and packages to 169 million addresses six and often seven days a week. Overseen by a bipartisan Board of Governors, the Postal Service is implementing a 10-year transformation plan,\u00a0Delivering for America<\/a>, to modernize the postal network, restore long-term financial sustainability, dramatically improve service across all mail and shipping categories, and maintain the organization as one of America\u2019s most valued and trusted brands.<\/p>\n 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.<\/p>\n For USPS media resources, including broadcast-quality video and audio and photo stills, visit the\u00a0USPS Newsroom<\/a>.
