By Linn’s Staff
At its Nov. 14 meeting, the United
States Postal Service’s board of governors elected Amber McReynolds as the
board’s chairwoman. Derek Kan was elected to serve as vice chairman.
McReynolds was appointed to the board
of governors by President Joe Biden and was confirmed by the Senate on May 13,
2021. Her current seven-year term on the board expires Dec. 8, 2026. She also
serves as chair of the board’s election mail committee.
“McReynolds is a leading expert on
election administration and policy,” the Postal Service said. “Her professional
career has been focused on strengthening democratic institutions with a goal of
improving the voting experience for all.”
“As the former director of elections
for the City and County of Denver, Colorado, McReynolds led the implementation
of a first-in-the-nation ballot tracking, reporting, and communication program
to increase accountability and enhance security for mail ballots,” the Postal
Service said. “Her efforts garnered national and international awards and
helped to shape Colorado’s vote-by-mail expansion in 2013.”
“In 2018, Governing Magazine
named her as a Top Public Official of the Year for her work to improve the
voting process,” according to the USPS. “She was also recognized as a 2020 Top
Women in Business in Colorado.”
McReynolds graduated from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and the London School of Economics and Political Science. She is a certified election registration administrator.
