As Immediate Past President of the Alaska Association of Harbormasters and Port Administrators (AAHPA), I am a little prejudiced, but this is a vital organization for successful marina managers and harbormasters. The association just had a new logo commissioned and it turned out great! The biggest benefit of the AAHPA is the networking and education it provides to members. We live in a world of intense regulation and harbors routinely deal with many natural resource agencies. Another exciting project is a collaborative effort with the University of Alaska Southeast in Sitka to develop an on-line marina employee training and certification program. It will use the Northern HarborsSmall Ports book as a basic text and utilize a number of good Alaska Sea Grant publications as references. Harbor associations in the northwest United States and British Columbia are interested in joining the effort.
Alaska Harbormasters are meeting in Ketchikan later this month for the annual AAHPA conference. It looks to be another great event for the organization.
