Welcome to the 2016 PNWA Annual Convention

Dear PNWA Members,

Welcome to Vancouver, and to our 2016 Annual Convention!

It has been a busy year in the , with a lot of activity at our ports, terminals and along our waterways. This is great news for our region and for PNWA, as we continue our successful advocacy for policies and projects which support economic development and the environment.

I am pleased to report that our association continues to grow, welcoming nine new members this year. These new members are adding to our strength here in the region and in Washington, DC. A strong, diverse, vocal membership like we have at PNWA is so important as we look ahead to a new Administration, the usual uncertainty in federal funding, a changing regulatory climate, and much more. 2017 will be an incredibly important year for this group. With the coordinated efforts of our membership, from Southern to Northern Washington and all along the Columbia and Snake Rivers to , we are well positioned to navigate these challenges and opportunities.

It continues to be my great honor to be the President of this uniquely successful organization, and I look forward to the next year with confidence that we will continue to succeed. Thank you for attending this week, and please enjoy the conference.

Captain Paul Amos Pilots President, PNWA

Dear PNWA Members,

It is a pleasure to welcome you to our 2016 Annual Convention. I would like to extend my thanks to the Port of Vancouver for helping us host this year’s event. We have an exciting agenda planned for you over the next few days and I hope you will enjoy hearing from an outstanding roster of speakers.

This has been another busy year for the PNWA team. With the election next month, we know 2016 will end with a bang! We are already looking ahead to determine how best to position the association and our supported issues and projects to achieve our goals with the new Administration and Congress. An active and engaged PNWA membership will be key to our effectiveness next year.

As always, we are grateful for your support, and feel privileged to advocate on your behalf. Thank you for joining with us, and for your help in delivering the views and voices of the Northwest. Here’s to a strong finish in 2016, and continued progress next year.
