Port of Port Townsend seeks new Executive Director

While we are excited for the Port of Port Townsend’s Director Larry Crockett and his upcoming retirement, we are jealously a bit sad that Larry will not be as engaged with our association as he has been.

As the Port looks for a new director, they have reached out to us for help in getting the word out.

Here’s their job description:

The Port of Port Townsend, Port Townsend, WA, seeks an engaging, accomplished leader to guide the efforts of one of the nation’s premier and diverse maritime destinations.

The Executive Director spearheads economic development in Jeff­erson County on Washington’s Olympic Peninsula. The ED oversees three marinas, a renowned marine trades industrial area at the Port Townsend Boat Haven, the Jeff­erson County International Airport and industrial park, a waterfront RV park at Point Hudson Marina, boat launches at several sites around eastern Jeff­erson County, and Union Wharf and City Dock in downtown Port Townsend.

Home to many of the best boat repair craftsmen and women in the world, the festival-‑filled Victorian seaport of Port Townsend and our facilities combine to make us the very best recreation and boat maintenance choice in the Puget Sound region.

Completed application packets are due no later than April 1, 2016.

Selections for interviews will be made the first week of April; the Port will notify interviewees at that time. All applicant information will be held in confidence until such time the applicant finalists are chosen. Those individuals will be expected to participate in a public forum for introduction before Port stake holders, the general public, and the media.
