It consists of nine members who are appointed by the president. No more than five members can be affiliated with the president’s political party. There have been two vacancies on the BOG since December 2023, when Captain Lee Moak and Wil- liam Zollars’s terms expired. Both Postmaster General DeJoy and Dep- uty Postmaster General Doug Tu- lino serve on the BOG. In addition, Roman Martinez is the chairman and Amber McReynolds is the vice chairwoman.
