Board of Harbor Commissioners elect president, VP and secretary

Harbor Commissioner Tracy Egoscue was elected as board president Monday to lead the body that oversees the Port of Long Beach. The five-member Board of Harbor Commissioners also selected Bonnie Lowenthal as vice president and Frank Colonna as secretary. Each July, the commission selects a president and other board officers for one-year terms.
Egoscue, an attorney, is the owner and founder of the Long Beach-based environmental law firm the Egoscue Law Group Inc. and a former deputy attorney general for the State of California. She was appointed to her first six-year term in September 2014. In 2017, the board elected her to a one-year term as vice president.
“I am honored to be afforded this opportunity by my fellow commissioners,” Egoscue said. “I look forward to working with each individually as well as collectively as we pursue what is best for the port and the city of Long Beach.”
Under the city charter, the board is responsible for setting policy for the port and managing the Harbor Department. Commissioners also direct the port’s executive director, who in turn manages the more than 500-person staff in the development and promotion of the Port of Long Beach.
