The Postal Service is filling up its leadership ranks, and is close to having its first fully staffed Board of Governors in more than a decade.
USPS is naming its Chief Human Resources Officer Doug Tulino to serve as deputy postmaster general, a position left vacant for a year.
Meanwhile, previous Deputy Postmaster General Ron Stroman will rejoin the agency by serving on its Board of Governors. The Senate approved his nomination Wednesday in a 69-30 vote to serve on the board for a partial term through December 2021, and voted 66-32 for Stroman to serve on the board for a full term through December 2028.

A Senate committee voted in favor of President Joe Biden s three nominees for governing board overseeing the U.S. Postal Service (USPS).
According to the Associated Press, the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee on Wednesday approved the president s three nominees: Ron Stroman, a former deputy postmaster general; Amber McReynolds, who leads the nonprofit National Vote at Home Institute; and Anton Hajjar, the former general counsel of the American Postal Workers Union.
The vote comes as lawmakers train their focus on restoring public confidence and trust in the U.S. Postal Service. Since last year, the postal service has undergone a number of drastic changes under the leadership of Postmaster General Louis DeJoy, a known supporter of President Donald Trump and a major donor for the Republican Party.
