As a result of the pandemic, California ports have grappled with unprecedented impacts. As our state recovers from this global health and economic crisis, California ports are well positioned to be a part of our state’s recovery and resurgence.

Port of Oakland Executive Director Danny Wan was just appointed Vice President of the California Association of Port Authorities (CAPA). During a week celebrating Ports Day 2021, which highlights the significant contributions California ports made to assist the state’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic, Wan fills the key leadership role effective immediately. The role was left vacant following the passing of Port of Richmond Executive Director Jim Matzorkis in December.
