Ronald Stroman, a former deputy postmaster general for the United States Postal Service, has been named the head of President-elect Joe Biden’s four-member transition team for the U.S. Postal Service.
His appointment was announced Nov. 10 by Biden’s transition office.
Earlier this year, Stroman suddenly resigned from his postal position as the Postal Service’s board of governors moved toward selecting Louis DeJoy, a North Carolina logistics executive, to be postmaster general. source

USPS: Deputy Postmaster General Ronald A. Stroman resigns
Deputy Postmaster General Ronald A. Stroman will resign from the Postal Service, effective June 1. Stroman, the 20th Deputy Postmaster General and the highest-ranking African American in USPS history, leads communications and relationship-building with Congress and federal, state and local government agencies,
Agency review teams are responsible for understanding the operations of each agency, ensuring a smooth transfer of power, and preparing for President-elect Biden and Vice President-elect Harris and their cabinet to hit the ground running on Day One
Jim Sauber has been on top of all Postal-related issues, legislation, and procedures for over 30 years. We could not have someone better in this position.
After serving as Deputy PMG he at least has knowledge of what the challenges are. Maybe he can explain why there is no African American female Vice President. He can’t say they are not qualified. I spent 31 1/2 years at USPS and know first hand that many of recent selections are there because of African American women doing the work. I laughed when I saw the name of one officer. How do you become an officer after allowing a mailer’s sight to ship for over a year without paying postage? It will be interesting to see what value, if any, the former Deputy PMG brings to the transition team.
Another government flunky with no real world experience.
Mark, you mean like Dejoy has real world experience but no postal experience?
