Most of us who run businesses deal with the United States Postal Service on a daily basis. We generally don't think twice about how we get the mail until something goes wrong. In that case, we have a tendency to become enraged but – take a breath. There are people who can help, and one of those is the Postmaster General. Needless to say, she's not the easiest to contact. If you have issues with your mail, you may want to check with your local post office or the Inspector General first. If you must speak with the Postmaster General, rest-assured, she's just a letter away.

Who is the Postmaster General?

The U.S. Postmaster General is the CEO of the USPS – the massive organization that deals with the majority of America's mail. The position is currently held by Megan J. Brennan, a 30-year Postal Service veteran who holds a Master of Business Administration degree from Massachusetts Institute of Technology. She's actually a landmark Postmaster because she's the first woman to hold the coveted spot. As the Postmaster General, Brennan strives to improve the United States Postal Service's quality and streamline their process. She hopes to make the whole organization more technology- and-customer-centric.

It may be worth contacting the organization's general hotline first to see if the staff there can resolve your query. Alternatively, you can reach the Postmaster General through snail mail – after all, that is her specialty.
