Board of Directors

The board of directors of HarborWorks serve as volunteers and are unpaid for their services to the community.  Two of the board members are nominated by the Port and two by the City.  The City Council must appoint the board members.  The four first appointed members of the board nominated the fifth member to serve as its first president who was appointed by the City Council.  That position is currently filled by Orville Campbell.
