The March 25 Port of Tacoma Annual Breakfast will showcase a “new game, new team” theme as we work to form a Seaport Alliance with the Port of Seattle.

Hear more about our bold regional approach to the unprecedented change facing the international container industry from CEO John Wolfe.

Eric Boles, president of The Game Changers Inc. and a thought leader in business strategies, will provide the keynote address. Prior to becoming an authority on leadership, teamwork, and leading and managing change, the Tacoma native learned many principles of high performance from his experiences playing in the National Football League with the New York Jets and Green Bay Packers.

Commissioners also will honor Summit Award winners.
