Happy Thursday!
Did anyone happen to read The
Houston Chronicle’s Business Section on January 15, 2025, their article titled,
“Regional leaders reappoint port head”?
In the article, it goes on to speak on how the local leaders of Houston
and Harris County earlier in the week had a joint meeting and were in consensus
on reappointing the current chairman of the Port Commission of the Port of Houston Authority, Ric Campo for another two-year term which
will be his third. Port Commissioners
are appointed for two-year terms and may serve for no more than twelve
years. The Port Commissioners are the
ones who set the policies and guidance for Port Houston’s
administration.
The local leaders appointed Frances
Castañeda
Dyess as the new leader of the Board of Pilot Commissioners for Harris County Ports. Ms. Castañeda Dyess is currently the President
of the Houston East End Chamber of Commerce and was the treasurer on the Board
of Pilot Commissioners whose term was to expire February 2026. The Board of Pilot Commissioners are the ones
who determine anything related to the pilots from the number needed to vetting
the incoming class to setting the rate for their services. They have their hands in everything.
We would like to thank them both on
their previous service and wish them luck in their current term! If you would like to read more of The
