SUMMARY:2026 Spring Meeting
DESCRIPTION:2026 Spring Meeting Welcome\nAgenda\nRegistration\nFAQ\nSponsors\n			\n					\n					\n					\n				2026 Spring Meeting Welcome\nAgenda\nRegistration\nFAQ\nSponsors\n			\n						\n				\n				\n		 \nDear Port Colleagues and Friends: \nOn behalf of your WPPA Executive Committee\, I am excited to extend an invitation to the first even of our annual conference program: the WPPA 2026 Spring Meeting. This year we are back above the beautiful Columbia River at Skamania Lodge: Tuesday May 19th through Thursday May 21st . \nWith a slightly modified timeline\, due primarily to lodge availability\, this is the perfect kickoff to the 2026 Memorial Day Weekend! \nBringing ports and our partners together is the essence of what we do at WPPA\, and it really is something the staff and our Executive Committee look forward to every year. Especially after a challenging legislative session\, in an uncertain moment\, seeing familiar faces and talking about the critical work of Washington ports could not come at a better time. You all continue to demonstrate the power of ports\, providing civic leadership and building projects and partnerships that bring prosperity to your communities. \nEach year\, our Spring and Winter Meetings convene more than two hundred people to discuss the latest issues facing our ports\, from exciting new ideas to longstanding challenges. This year’s Spring Meeting has an engaging agenda that includes a few adjustments to our usual format\, along with a great list of speakers that reflects your ideas for what ought to be covered.  And maybe more valuable than any individual speaker: you will be there! The rolling lawn of the lodge will be full of port leaders\, associate members\, invited guests\, and friends and family. In these off-schedule conversations you’ll find inspiration for the year ahead! \nPlease plan to come\, be engaged\, be excited\, be educated\, and be together! \nWe look forward to seeing all of you in Stevenson\, WA at Skamania Lodge this May\, \n  \nJack Ng\, Commissioner\, Port of South Whidbey\n2026 WPPA President \nEric ffitch\, Executive Director\nWashington Public Ports Association

SUMMARY:2026 WPPA Port Academy Series Second Edition
DESCRIPTION:Please join us for the second 2026 WPPA Port Academy Series event\, June 5th at the Port of Moses Lake  \nFollowing a strong response to the Port Academy Series\, we are pleased to invite WPPA members to the second event of 2026. This educational initiative is designed to provide port staff with an opportunity to learn from one another through hands-on\, port-led forums. This session will be hosted by the Port of Moses Lake on Friday\, June 5th from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. \nThe Port Academy Series focuses on collaboration and knowledge-sharing across Washington’s port community. This session will highlight the Port of Moses Lake and its ongoing work in aviation\, industrial development\, and infrastructure investment\, including operations at Grant County International Airport. Participants will gain insight into how the port approaches long-range planning\, economic development\, and asset management in a rural setting. \nWhether you are a Port Manager\, Finance Officer\, Environmental Specialist\, or work in another area of port operations\, this event offers a practical opportunity to learn from peers and explore approaches that may be applicable to your own port. The program will include a mix of presentations\, facilitated discussion\, and a tour of port facilities. Lunch is provided. \nTo support meaningful discussion\, registration is limited to a small group of 25 participants. While the focus is on port staff\, commissioners are welcome to attend if space is available. \nTopics Covered Will Include: \n\nPort governance and lines of business\nIndustrial and aviation development\nInfrastructure planning and investment\nEconomic development strategy\nFacilitated peer discussion and Q&A\nAnd more\n\nRegistration Fee: $100 plus tax (9.8%) \nIn 2025\, the Washington State Legislature passed Senate Bill 5814\, expanding retail sales tax to include events such as workshops and seminars. As a result\, WPPA is required to apply retail sales tax to registration fees. \nSpace is limited\, so we encourage early registration. \nRegister Now \nRegistration Closes: May 29th
