On August 19, 2011, Jeanette was elected President of the NRLCA at its 107th National Convention in Savannah, Georgia, making the NRLCA the first union of the United States Postal Service ever to elect a female President.
The main focus of her tenure as President has been preserving six day mail delivery.
In her acceptance speech, she stated:
On February 6, 2013, Postmaster General Patrick R. Donahoe announced that the Postal Service would implement five-day mail delivery beginning August 5, a move he claimed would save $2 billion annually.
Later the same day, the national board of the NRLCA voted unanimously to call for his dismissal:
On February 13, Jeanette testifies before the Senate Committee on Homeland Security & Governmental Affairs during a hearing on U.S. Postal Service Oversight.
On July 16, the House passed the Financial Services and General Government Appropriations bill, which included language protecting six‐day mail delivery, thereby blocking Donahoe's plan.
He retired on November 14, 2014.
