The challenges facing port leaders today -- including trade growth, enhanced security, and competing stakeholder interests -- call forth a new level of leadership capability. Not only do port leaders need to think more strategically about the challenges they face to identify innovative solutions, they also need to be resilient in coping with and leading change. AAPA's Executive Management Conference, offered since 1969, is designed to address timely port leadership issues and trends. The program features a host of experienced port executive directors, senior line department managers, and other maritime industry professionals to share the essentials of port leadership and management. This seminar is a PPM® requirement.
