business, transportation, logistics and economic development.
“They are true leaders with a strong history of business accomplishments
and public service,” said Stern, who reached out for input on the search
process. “We are honored and humbled that they have agreed to serve for
this important task.”
In addition to Mr. Stern, the search committee members include:

Board.
“With the strength and expertise assembled around us on the search
committee, I’m confident we’ll find a candidate that meets the state’s
needs and will lead our vital port system,” said Stern.
