Fiscal Year 2025 Board of Governors' Expenditures

The Postal Reorganization Act of 1970, as amended, established the U.S. Postal Service Board of Governors (Board), which is generally comprised of nine Governors appointed by the president of the United States, the postmaster general (PMG), and the deputy postmaster general. During fiscal year (FY) 2025, the Board’s composition changed from seven Governors to five Governors, as two Governors left and were not replaced. Additionally, the Postal Service hired a new PMG. Governors receive a salary of $30,000 a year, plus $300 a day for meeting fees, and are reimbursed for travel and reasonable expenses incurred to attend Board meetings. In FY 2025, the Board incurred $931,829 in salaries, travel, meeting fees, and professional services expenses. The Office of the Board of Governors’ policy requires annual audits of the Board’s expenses.
