Composition
The PRC is composed of five Commissioners—each of whom is appointed to a six-year term of office by the President and confirmed by the Senate, similar to many other high-level Executive Branch office holders. As with Postal Governors, PRC commissioners are permitted to serve for one additional "holdover" year beyond the end of their term if a replacement has not been nominated and confirmed. The President designates one Commissioner as Chairman of the Commission. The Commissioners together designate one of their number as a Vice-Chairman for a one-year term.
The current members are: Term expires: Chairman Ruth Y. Goldway (D) Nov. 22, 2014 Vice Chairman Robert G. Taub (R) October 14, 2016 Commissioner Mark Acton (R) Oct. 14, 2016 Commissioner Tony Hammond (R) Oct. 14, 2012 Commissioner Nanci E. Langley (D) Nov. 22, 2012
The PRC is organized into five operating offices: Accountability and Compliance, General Counsel, Public Affairs and Government Relations, Secretary, and Inspector General.
