Appointment approved
The Broward County Commission has approved the appointment of Glenn A. Wiltshire as acting director of Broward County's Port Everglades department.
Wiltshire, currently deputy port director, will take the helm when CEO and port director Jonathan Daniels departs for his new role as executive director of Maryland’s port administration and the port of Baltimore.
Wiltshire's responsibilities include managing the seaport's diverse maritime initiatives that generate more than USD 33 billion in economic activity statewide annually, support 9,584 local direct jobs and result in more than USD 1.18 billion in state and local taxes.
Wiltshire joined Port Everglades in 2006 as the deputy port director after his retirement from the US Coast Guard (USCG) as captain of the port for New York/New Jersey. He currently serves as a member of the South Florida district export council for the US department of commerce and is president of the Florida Ocean Alliance. (cj)
