USPS: Feb. 9 Board of Governors Public Meeting Cancelled Due To Weather
WASHINGTON — The public meeting of the Board of Governors of the U.S. Postal Service scheduled for Feb. 9, 2010, has been cancelled due to transportation issues related to severe winter weather in the Washington, DC, area.
With transportation options already limited throughout the entire mid-Atlantic and another storm system expected Tuesday, the Board has cancelled the meeting in the interest of public safety.
Items and reports on the Feb. 9 agenda will be rescheduled for presentation at a future meeting.
