You have 1 day left to register for the March 25 Port of Tacoma Annual Breakfast that will showcase a “new game, new team” 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.
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 high performance principles from his experiences playing in the National Football League with the New York Jets and Green Bay Packers.
CEO John Wolfe also will provide an update on the Port, and commissioners will honor Summit Award winners.
The Summit Awards recognize Port customers and tenants for outstanding contributions to Port business and our community in three categories of leadership:
- Business Magnet recognizes business development efforts or investments that led to an increase in business volume or new business opportunities for the Port, and had a positive economic impact for Pierce County citizens.
