Dear Port Colleagues and Friends:
On behalf of our WPPA Executive Committee, I am thrilled to extend an invite you to WPPA’s Annual Meeting, which for the first time is being held at the Marriott Tacoma Downtown. In conjunction with the Annual Meeting, we will also be holding a CLE Seminar and the bi-annual New Commissioners Seminar. This year’s event will also feature another fun element: an auction to benefit the WPPA Educational Foundation!
As always, your presence and input at this annual meeting is vital to our cohesive statewide efforts as we will be talking about timely topics and shared priorities that affect the future of our ports and our industry partners. We have assembled a compelling agenda so far, with a diverse group of speakers and informative learning experiences, and more topics will be added as we approach the event. Most importantly, we will connect with each other over key current challenges and areas where we can partner to improve our outcomes. Please plan to attend, engage, learn, and connect. I am excited to work together as an association to represent the needs of our port communities.
I look forward to seeing all of you in Tacoma!
Eric ffitch, Executive Director – Washington Public Ports Association
