The Port of Vancouver USA has been awarded a top communications prize by the American Association of Port Authorities (AAPA). The port was notified in June that it was selected to receive the prestigious Award of Excellence, Best Overall Campaign for its centennial celebration efforts.
“As our centennial year approached, we felt it was important to not just celebrate an anniversary, but to share our history and the role we’ve played in building our community,” Port of Vancouver Commission President Nancy Baker said. “Our goal was to talk about the jobs we’ve created and the economic development value we’ve brought to Southwest Washington over the past 100 years and how we plan to continue these efforts throughout our next century.”
The award will be presented to the port in October during AAPA’s annual convention in Mobile, Alabama.
