The position announcement, which will be posted to the port’s Job Center Web page and shared through advertisements and social media, closes at 5 p.m. Monday, 24th October.
The port will conduct a vigorous recruitment and interview process. Staff will conduct the first round of interviews and narrow the field to a handful of highly qualified candidates. These candidates will meet with a stakeholder advisory committee comprised of community and business partners whose purposes overlap with the port’s mission, vision and goals. The committee will provide observations and feedback to port Director of Human Resources Jonathan Eder.
Next, candidates will be individually interviewed by each of the port’s commissioners. Once these interviews are complete, the commissioners will meet in executive session to discuss candidate qualifications. During the subsequent Board of Commissioners meeting, the commission is expected to vote on the candidate they believe is most qualified for the position.
Given this robust process, the port expects to bring a permanent CEO on board in the first quarter of 2017.
